Cutting glitter iron-on with a Cricut machine is one of the easiest and most versatile ways to customize clothing and fabric projects. Glitter iron-on is a flexible and hard-wearing material that can be used to add sparkle and shine to any project.
It is also relatively easy to cut with a Cricut machine, so you can create intricate designs for your projects.
Before you get started cutting glitter iron-on with your Cricut machine, it’s important to understand the different types of glitter iron-on and their corresponding cutting settings. There are two main types of glitter iron-on: standard glitter and HTV (heat transfer vinyl) glitter. Standard glitter iron-on requires a slightly deeper cut setting than HTV, while HTV requires a lighter cut setting.
When it comes to choosing the right cut for your project, consider what type of fabric you are working with as well as the thickness of the glitter iron-on. For thinner fabrics such as cotton or polyester, use a lightest or standard cut setting. For thicker fabrics such as canvas or denim, use a deep or extra deep cut setting.
It’s also important to remember that when it comes to cutting thicker materials like canvas or denim, you may need to adjust your blade depth accordingly. If your blade isn’t set deep enough for the material, it won’t be able to make an accurate cut. Similarly, if it’s set too deep for the material, it may cause unnecessary wear on your blade.
Conclusion:
Cutting glitter iron-on with a Cricut machine is an easy way to add some sparkle and shine to any project. The type and thickness of fabric will determine what type of cut settings you need for your project – standard cuts for thinner fabrics like cotton or polyester and deeper cuts for thicker fabrics like canvas or denim. It’s important to adjust your blade depth accordingly in order to achieve an accurate cut without causing unnecessary wear on your blade.
