Our Equipment

GREEN – These devices can be used without staff supervision for DIY projects.

The Cricut Maker 3 allows you to create DIY projects with precision. It can be used to cut out fabric patterns or create vinyl decals, and can cut through a wide array of other materials. The best file format to use for your designs is a scalable vector graphic (SVG). You can create SVG files using tools like Adobe’s Photoshop or Illustrator which are available on our Creation Station Computers.

You can drop in to use one of our two Cricut Makers, but reservations are strongly recommended.

If you have never used a Cricut Maker before, please drop by during our Staffed Hours for a brief orientation on the machine before scheduling to use the Cricut Maker on a project. Contact us with your questions if you don’t know what material to purchase for your project or if you are unsure if the material you need is compatible with the Cricut Maker.

 

Costs

Use of the Cricut Maker is free. Patrons are encouraged to bring their own supplies. Materials can be purchased on Amazon, most big box stores, local craft stores and online craft stores such as Swing Design, Expressions Vinyl, and many more. Orocal and Siser ( for heat transfer vinyl, HTV) are reliable brands as well. Ask our staff about our heat presses if you are interested in using heat transfer paper or vinyl to embellish a t-shirt or other fabric item.
