My Cricut Image Is Cutting Outside The Mat

Changing all the images to print without flattening will cause all the.

My cricut image is cutting outside the mat. In the cricut explore and more facebook group we often have members who are having trouble getting their print then cut image to cut around their print then cut image and leave the inside of the image intact. It s very simple indeed but another one of those things we all need to know when using cricut design space. The same thing happened to me last night. Be sure that you actually have the image set to cut and not print or write.

Image is not flattened. Not having fun i m trying to find a tutorial or video that shows where your letters should stop on your cutting area on the monitor. It is frustrating when you would like your image to be as large as possible on a 12 x 12 mat but the program is telling you that you have to reduce it. If there are pieces that should have cut but didn t flip the piece over and use a craft knife to gently follow the cuts until the piece is free.

And that s all there is to it. Without unloading the mat look at the cut to see if the cut touches the printed line all the way around. This allows the machine to cut without the glitter getting stuck on the blade and in the housing. In order to ensure optimal performance calibrate your cricut imagine before using it for the first time and whenever an image cuts outside of the printed area of the image.

I unplugged it tried again and it worked. This is my second mat at 15 each. Mine is set to cut mat and it still cut the right edge of my mat. If the issue occurs with multiple projects or images proceed to step 2.

I was cutting a 4 small leaf patterns at the top of the mat. Examine cuts to see if all pieces have been completely cut. If it does tap yes in design space then continue to proceed to the next step. Once done it will cut around the small square near the center of the sheet.

Then it spit out the mat and tried to cut itself. If your cricut machine is connected via bluetooth try connecting to your computer using the usb cable instead. If you find that the blade is not cutting out images within their default borders using this recalibration may solve the issue. This is usually caused by one of two things and both of them have to do with flattening.

Always test cut prior to starting so you can find out sooner than later. The machine will begin to scan the sheet for the calibration markings. If you are using a piece of loose glitter cardstock mirror your image and turn over the paper. For best results if you re cutting several of the same images place the image on different parts of your cutting mat.

First it didn t finish the cut but gave me a cut completed message.
