Hm...That may be the problem.

The reason I am only cutting one layer is I'm afraid! LOL! I was thinking if I was messing up one layer, I didn't want to mess them all up! LOL!
I have a question for you- how do you cut your fabric with the Cricut? I have read about it and tried once without success. Maybe you can help me?
Thanks.

You can pm me if you like, I'd be happy to help in any way I can.

With the Cricuts, you pretty much only use them for applique. You have to use a stablizer, I usually use the heat n bond lite, to be able to cut with it.

Someone suggested using freezer paper, and then pulling it off after cutting it. This sounds like a fantastic idea! I'm going to try it, and I'll let you know.

The Cricut is absolutely amazing. If you don't have the software to use a computer with it(SCAL, MTC) you should get it. Never have to buy another cartridge again, and you can cut ANY image you can see on your computer screen!
