Using a hot, dry iron, apply slight pressure with a gliding action to fuse, allowing iron to stay on fabric for 8-10 seconds. The directions for Craft-Fuse say to place shiny adhesive side of interfacing against wrong side of fabric, then cover with a damp press cloth. Now, follow the directions on your fusible interfacing package to fuse them to the back side your front, top, and back panels. Important note: Interfacing must go shiny side against the fabric - the shiny side is the fusible side. And in the case of pieces G, they should NOT overlap they should just touch of even have a small gap in between. Interfacing should be centered inside the edges of the fabric pieces. Note that both of pieces G (interfacing strips) go on piece E (top panel). Now lay one (1) of piece F, one (1) of piece H, and both pieces G on top of pieces A, B, and E. Lay one (1) of piece A (back panel), one (1) of piece B (front panel), and piece E (top panel) on your work surface, face down. Once all of your materials are cut, identify each piece using this diagram as I will refer to them by name from this point forward. The other layers of mint fabric and the white fabric can go on the mat face up. Tip #2: Place your mint cotton material on the FabricGrip mat face down so that the fabric marking pen appears on the back, where you want to see it. Tip #1: Don’t forget to put your Washable Fabric Marking Pen in the tool holder if you plan to mark your fabric! You’ll get more precision if you use the Maker, however. You can, of course, just cut the large pattern pieces by hand. Tip: If you’re cutting the pattern out on your Cricut Maker, put a full 12″ x 24″ piece of fabric on your FabricGrip cutting mat before you cut it to ensure you have a large enough piece. Watch my assembly video, which goes through the entire cutting and assembly process.Ĭut out your materials (cotton fabric, interfacing, and the optional vinyl for the heart) using my pattern. Iron your cotton fabric so it has no wrinkles. Refer to the graphic below or the assembly video to see which layers get set to Write, and which layers get set to Attach. You also need to attach these two fabric marking pen lines to their respective fabric pieces so they stay together. Ungroup everything, then change the two sets of lines (indicated by the red diagonal line icon) to Write (choose washable fabric marking pen). UPDATES/CHANGES: Check for any updates, changes, or additional videos for this project at If you’re on an iPhone or iPad, here’s how to download and upload SVG files to the Cricut Design Space app. Tip: If you’re not sure how to upload an SVG cut file to Cricut Design Space, watch this helpful video training series I made. If you’re using Cricut Design Space, upload the SVG and place it on your canvas.
