Load the mat and tell it to continue. You may need to support the handle while it is engraving. By the way, occasionally the Engraving tip will stop and the tip will spin for a few seconds. I don’t know why but this is completely normal.
When it is done you can remove the spatula from the mat. Now everything I read said to use the strong grip mat but I used the regular grip Paper Studio Brand mats from Hobby Lobby and it worked fine.
It is very important to center the design properly and invert it on the mat or you get results like these. (my oops) I now have extra spatulas in my kitchen. No sense in wasting them. LOL
If you have any other questions about using the Engraving tip, email me.
So, I was under the impression that you could only use their blanks for engraving. This is very interesting. Is there a certain amount of thickness that you can use or any other speculations?
Yes abouut 2 mm is all the thicker it can be so that it fits under the rollers. Also the surface must be fairly flat. A spoon being thin enough would never work because it isn’t flat.
After reading your tips, I’ve decided you are my BFF! I just got my Cricut Maker yesterday, and Design Space is intimidatig. After discovering your page, I’m confident that I am going to master it! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
