Cutting Printouts with the Hinge Method for Cricut

[imsillylily333]

I am going to try this today! I have been trying to do this by placing my blade in the same coordinates everytime but it never cuts in the exact spot. it might be because i unload my mat everytime. (and I havent been so lucky with center point.) TFS!!!

Very clever... but why not simply use the "center point" feature? I've used that with great success for photos or elements from paper such as your spiral words. Thanks for the Festisite mention.

Can't you just use the centerpoint function?

Great question. Yes, you can use center point on a simple example like this, but this technique is much more accurate than centerpoint and works with shapes that don't have an obvious center. It also works when you don't have centerpoint, like when using an original Cricut, Design Studio, Gypsy or SCAL.
