I like your tip, but doen't it depened on what you cut. Because some careacters are wider.

can you let me know. thanks jp

@perezjane2006 The same thing applies. If you are cutting a 4" wide character & only have 4" of paper left on that row, the Cricut will make a Line Return and start on the next row. I touch on different width characters in "Character Sizing on the Cricut Expression" & have an upcoming video which will talk about it more. Thanx for watching & commenting!

Great stuff, I was thinking how many more hearts you could get if you turned the heart around with each row...in other words, instead of having the hearts face the same direction each row, turn them upside down to take advantage of the triangle created by the hearts when they are cut. I can't explain it without drawing it freehand, I hope you understand what I mean here. One row hearts right side up, the next row hearts upside down and staggered to fit the open space left...

@pprcrafter I've already got an update filmed where I turn the mat around just like you're saying. I'm planning on squeezing that clip into a future video. Thanx for your comments.

As for being a cheap skate my hubby says I am the Queen of Cheap~skates! I also thought the last statement was funny too!!! Cause it drives (Bee) up a tree I take it that's your wife ??? Keep up the good work & have a Blessed Day!!! Tessa~~~

You are funny. I was very amused with this YT video :)

This is a wonderful video with the cricut tips. Haven't heard this from anyone else. I subbed to your channel to make sure I don't miss any new tips. However, don't really like the comedy excerpts. It's very distracting while I'm trying to understand the instructions and it keeps throwing me off. Would rather it were succinct and too the point. But it won't stop me from viewing the videos. Thanks for sharing.
