Can I cut felt with my Cricut machine?

May 26, 2021 by

Yes. With your Explore, you need to stick with the really thin inexpensive felt. This is generally the type you find at most craft stores. With your Maker, you can cut thicker wool felt such as our favorite from Benzie Design: https://www.benziedesign.com/ Our tips for cutting felt with your Explore: https://makersgonnalearn.com/videos/how-to-cut-felt-with-the-cricut-explore-air/ and our tips for cutting felt with your Maker: https://makersgonnalearn.com/videos/how-to-not-fail-cutting-felt-with-your-cricut-maker-fun-felt-banner/

With a Cricut Explore or Maker, you can use a Cricut Scoring Stylus. There are also Cricut Scoring Wheels (single scoring or double scoring) available for use with the Cricut Maker only. We generally prefer to use the Scoring Stylus no matter which machine we are using.
