One More Time…
A few days ago I learned when using the Cricut Knife Blade that Design Space will prompt you to check to make sure your cut has gone completely through before you unload your mat. If it has not cut all the way through, then you can keep pressing the “go” button for more and more […]
Why I Got a Cricut?
