Cricut Embroidery: Draw Embroidery Patterns with a Cricut Machine

Let’s try some Cricut embroidery today! This is a great way to get started with embroidery or push your embroidery skills to the limit. Plus it will work with any of the Explore or Maker machines.

SUPPLIES

– Cricut machine – Washable fabric pen – Fabric grip mat – Fabric – Embroidery thread – Needle – Craft knife – Hot glue and glue gun – Scissors

Choosing the Right Design

INSTRUCTIONS:

You want to choose certain images and designs for this project, so let’s take a look in Cricut Design Space and pick a few projects to start on.

Click the three dots, then click “move object”, and put it on a new mat. You can pick the color of that mat and click “confirm”.

Drawing on Fabric with a Cricut

Click the object and move it around on the mat to a better location. Again, repeat for each design. Once everything is moved and in location, click “continue”.

Add your fabric to a fabric grip mat and use a brayer to press it down well.

Adding Embroidery Stitches

To start embroidering, peel the fabric back from the mat then add it to your embroidery hoop. Separate the two rings and put the inner ring behind the design.
