LC Design Space Help

zoom_out_map

Come check out our Design Space in the LC. We have had a couple of makers come in and get creative. This space is for ALL students! You do not have to be a master designer to give it a try. Below I've given you some things to remember when planning out a design.

Using the Cricut Maker to design?

Make sure you have your own Cricut Design Space account. This part can be accomplished anywhere you have access to the Design Space. For example you can use the app on your phone, download the software onto your laptop or home computer, or come in and use the software on the design space computer. Remember, not all designs are free in this software. However, there is plenty to choose from if you do not want to spend any extra money.

Printing a Sublimation Design for application?

There are several helpful videos on youtube that will walk you through the process of printing sublimation designs. Remember that sublimation designs are more vibrant and last longer when using fabric that is no less than 65% polyester. Will it work on fabrics that are less than this? YES, it just might not be as vibrant when the transfer takes place. It might also fade more quickly over time and washing cycles than an item that is 65% or more polyster.

Do you have to use the Cricut Design Space for sublimation? No, that is not neccessary for every sublimation design. You can find designs to purchase and download just as easy as you can create your own design.

Want to work with Vinyl transfer?

You can do that as well using the Cricut Maker Machine. With this, you will need to use the Cricut Design Space to lay out your image or text. I am very limited on my vinyl selection. You might want to come in and check out what I have to offer while you are planning your design. Remember, if I don't have it you will have to supply it. Again, just like the sublimation tutorials, there are a plethera of good helpful videos that will guide you through vinyl selection, designing, and then cuting and transfering your design.
