Other times, it could be related to the software or app being used. Whatever the cause may be, there are some steps you can take to get your project loaded onto your Cricut machine.
Check Your USB Connection
The most common cause of a project not loading on Cricut is a faulty USB connection. Make sure that you have a reliable connection between your computer and the Cricut machine, and that no cables or adapters are loose.
If possible, try using a different USB cable and/or port. You should also check that your drivers are up to date.
