Reverse weeding vinyl small letters.
I ll go over how to find easy fonts to weed as well as tips for working with tricky scripts or small lettering words.
Check out the extended post for step by step details.
In this article i ll cover what weeding vinyl is and give you the very basics of how to weed vinyl effectively so that you don t waste any material.
First cut and apply some transfer tape over top of the vinyl.
This will help save time and make the weeding process of small letters easier.
From there you should be able to remove the transfer tape and waste vinyl without running the risk of losing letters.
A fourth tip for weeding small letters is to put the vinyl in the freezer after you have cut the vinyl.
The letters are so small that they would lift up along with the excess vinyl.
Next turn it over and peel away the vinyl backing paper.
Cut settings in cricut design space.
Reverse weeding is a new trick.
Reverse weeding vinyl is so much easier to do than the regular way most people week with their cricut or silhouette machines.
In theory this is easier to weed for smaller decals than doing it the regular way.
Reverse weeding is for adhesive vinyl only.
Using a weeding tool pull out the tiny insides of any of the letters that came with it onto the transfer tape.
In this video i show you the reverse weeding technique which is especially great when doing vinyl in small or thin fonts.
If i were to weed it the normal way i would likely ruin it.
Instead of pulling off the vinyl you don t want first apply the transfer tape directly to the unweeded is that a word vinyl.
Then as you peel up the transfer tape the tiny letters will stick and will be weeded for you.
