We will talk about how to cut out basic shapes from fabric with the machine, and how to cut out all of the shapes for your quilt project when working with an existing pattern.

You have a quilting pattern that you already own and you want to be able to “load” it into the Cricut software to cut out the shapes for the quilt.

Can you do it? Yes or No? Well, the answer is both, yes and no. If your quilt pattern is made up of simple shapes then YES you can easily load it into the software and get the machine to cut it out for you.

Kind of. I have experimented with using 505 spray to “baste” two layers of fabric to each other, then run them through the Maker at the same time. It works half the time.
