If you’re a quilter, chances are you’ve heard of the Cricut. The Cricut is a cutting machine that can be used to cut fabric, paper, and vinyl. But did you know that it can also be used to cut quilts?
Using a Cricut to cut quilts is easier than cutting them by hand. It’s also more precise and accurate, so your finished product will look professional. All you need is the Cricut machine, some cutting mats and blades, and your quilt.
Once you have all of your supplies ready, it’s time to start cutting! First, select the design you want to cut out of your quilt. You can either create your own design or select one from the library of designs available in Design Space.
Once you have selected a design, you will need to upload it into Design Space. Once it is uploaded, you can resize it to fit your quilt. Then use the cutting mat and blade to cut out the design from the quilt.
Be sure to use the right blade for the fabric type. It’s important that you use a blade that is suitable for the fabric type so that it won’t damage or fray your fabric as it cuts.
You may also want to add an adhesive backing, such as Heat ‘n Bond Ultrahold Iron-On Adhesive or Heat ‘n Bond Lite Iron-On Adhesive before cutting out your design. This will help keep all of the pieces of fabric together as they are being cut out.
Once all of your pieces are cut out, assemble them according to instructions and then stitch them together using a sewing machine. And there you have it – a beautiful quilt made with ease thanks to your trusty Cricut!
Conclusion
Cutting a quilt with a Cricut machine is an easy way for any level of quilter to create professional looking projects quickly and easily. All that is needed is a Cricut machine, some cutting mats and blades, adhesive backing (optional), and some patience! With these tools in hand, anyone can create beautiful quilts in no time at all.
