How do you transfer the cuts easily to a surface (e.g.: a chalkboard)?

You can use any object from any cartridge or design your own and cut it on the Cricit.

My wife uses a small spatula that is used with the cricut set. She peels them off the board with it and then puts the pieces were ever she needs to put them, Look for the tool set, I hope that answers your question

I'm not sure I understand the question. This cartridge was a gift for my daughter, so I've forwarded the question to her, but you might want to clarify what you mean by transferring the cuts to a surface. Do you mean sticking them on a surface? Like tape or something?

Look at YouTube for instructional videos and tutorials. It takes lots longer to explain the process than to actually do it!

Yes! You can cut these boards. My personal method is to use a sharp knife or small hacksaw to cut groove into the board, and then turn it over and cut another groove on the back side along the same line. Then you can position the board so that your cut lines up with the edge of a table, and push down on the portion of the board that is hanging off the table to "snap" it off. It's sort of like the way sheet glass is cut by scoring and snapping. Does this make sense?

I have never tried that but if the sheets are Styrofoam remember that Styrofoam is beaded so you will not get a clean cut. also the thickness of the sheet will matter. I hope this helps. Thanks, Joe

Yes, you can cut it to fit. However, it wont be easy and it wont come out with a perfect edge, but no one will see it once the sheets go on. I think, so, Ive read, that you can cut nice clean edges on foam with an electric knife. You may want to give it a try! I would measure and mark an exact chalk line to use as a guide for cutting. Good Luck!

Use a utility knife and go around the edges of the knock out piece you want then use a plier to take it out bending it back and forth. I didn't know how to do it either and had a tile guy show me how to do it. ; ) It works perfectly that way.

Open the Multipurpose Platform to Tab 1 (that's the surface you'll be cutting on). Next put on top of that put a clear plastic cutting pad. Your decorative strip comes next. You can't do the whole strip at one time - just move it up and down to get all of it. The paper goes on top of the dye (decorative strip) and lastly the other cutting pad. You can cut now and it should turn out beautifully.

I used scissors to cut with no problem, I am certain xacto for any intricate cut will be fine too. Good luck!

You can cut any foam with a bread knife but you would hafta carefully re sew the cover back together afterward. Snap a chalk line on foam to keep cut straight. Good luck

Yes with a cutting wheel and finish it off with a file and sand paper. Good luck

You can design in Illustrator, etc. and save as a .svg file. Then import the .svg to the included software for cutting. Super easy.

The program converts pixels to stitches, as best as I can figure. It does not does not import as if a sketch, only as blocks. Backstitch lines can be added later.

Use a sharp knife instead of scissors. Lay the cloth on a cutting board and slice with a sharp chef knife.

I would make a paper template to trace onto the film backing. Just put the piece of paper in the window and trace the outline and cut it put to trace on the film. It is easy to adjust by removing and resticking once you have your shape cut and are trying to place.

Yes, it would be very easy to use. Just put your template and fabric onto the mat, cut 1 or 2 sides of the template, and then turn the mat to cut the remaining sides. Much easier than moving the fabric to cut.

Double sided sticky tape or glue them to a collage poster and hang the poster, later cut out or pull the pictures off

Cut your own size to use as stabilizer. Cheaper to use than precut squares.
