My Favorite Tried & True Fonts For Cutting

Tried and True Cutting Fonts

This is an older list, abut a few years ago, I did a "test cut" of  a bunch of fonts.  You can see the results below.  Not all fonts cut really well with cricut, but these all do. 

 Nearly all of them are still free - for those that are not free, I suggest free alternatives.

While sorting out my fonts this week, I realized that I have a lot of "favorite fonts" that do not cut well, or that are miserable to weed.  So I made practice cuts for all of my favorites, and eliminated the ones I found to be too difficult to work with, leaving me with three pages of fonts that cut well, and are fairly easy to weed, using 651 vinyl.  It's much easier to weed htv, so if they weed "well enough" from 651, I can be sure I will love using them with htv too.

These samples were all cut from 651, weeded, and transferred to clear plastic - so they have been fully tested, from cut to transfer.
