Cricut Is Cutting Off The Mat

You have your project all set up.

Cricut is cutting off the mat.

I ve actually cut through several mats now and i think it s just due to doing so much cutting in the same area when i go to peal the mat back it snaps off so from that i ve learned to move projects around the mat but when i m doing 12 of the same cut i run out of places to use quickly. All offers are valid only while supplies last. The maximum cutting area on a 12 x 12 30 5 cm x 30 5 cm mat is 11 5 x 11 5 29 cm x 29 cm. If you are already using the usb cable or switching to the usb cable does not help proceed to step 3.

Some projects particularly larger projects may have trouble cutting via bluetooth. Just remembered i made this post. If your cricut machine is connected via bluetooth try connecting to your computer using the usb cable instead. On the next screen select your machine from the drop down menu select the appropriate material setting load the mat into your machine and press the flashing go button.

Ensure that your cricut explore or cricut maker machine is powered on and connected to your computer via usb cable or bluetooth pairing. Life has been a bit crazy recently. So once you have all your layers sized to fit a mat all you need to do is load up and cut. Press the next button.

If either the height or width of an image is greater than 11 5 29 cm when you select make it you will receive an alert that one of your images is too large for a 12 x 12 30 5 cm x 30 5 cm mat. Believe it or not this is a common problem so even if you are not a beginner you may need to troubleshoot in the future. Gently insert the mat until you feel it hit the back of the print rollers. Place a blank sheet of 12 by 12 white paper on your cricut imagine mat and insert the mat above the exposed rollers at the label insert mat here.

If you re working on 12 square mats you can use normal cardstock. Today we will be talking about why your cricut will not cut correctly. Press the start calibration button.
