Quick Guide for Make the Cut Software

July 24, 2010 Filed in: Make The Cut | Make The Cut Tutorial

About the Quick Guide
Andy (the creator of Make the Cut) has put out a great product for people to use with their Cricut Machine. So we came up with the idea to have a Quick Guide that is short and to the point on how to complete certain tasks. They are common tasks that a beginner may want to know.
Having this on the web allows the content to stay fresh and updated once an update of MTC comes out.
Add your Comments!
We also added commenting at the bottom of each tutorial so you can ask questions, suggest tutorial topics, and even add your own spin to the lesson. It's all about helping each other learn the program. Hopefully this is will be a growing community with new lessons added when people ask the questions.

This is just a short tutorial showing you that you can use some of the basic features. We created the cloud from overlapping circles and welding the get the final result. The technique is fairly easy and should yield great results! Especially since you made it all on your own... Just like in nature there never any two clouds alike...

With the release of MTC Version 2.0.3 beta, I decided to put out a guide in explaining on what each button does and how to possibly use the layers function. Having this function is a great addon and it is very easy to use.

If there is something that doesn't make sense send us an email and we'll try to correct the Tutorial!
