You can have more than one window open at a time, so you can work on one design while another is cutting, in the new Design Space.
Quick Tip - Reverse Weeding
For small text, reverse weeding sometimes works much better!
Instead of weeding the design first, you apply the transfer tape to the entire piece, then pull back the design slowly. Then you weed the extras off of the transfer tape.

Quick Tip - Close The Lid For Print Then Cut

If you have an HP Printer, check out instant Ink.
It's SO much cheaper. You pay by the page, not the ink cartridge.
So you can always print in best quality, for the same price as draft.

Quick Tip - Use Attach Instead Of Slice
Although there are times you will want to use slice, often there is no need—Attach will do the exact same thing in less steps! When you attach, you tell cricut where to cut the text. So if it is attached to the shape, it will cut out of the shape, exactly the same as if you had gone through all the steps to slice
Update - Did you see that we no longer need to weld text before we slice? Apparently in one of the latest updates, text boxes became "one" item, no matter how many letters you used. So you can now type your text, place it on a shape, and slice, WITHOUT welding the text first.

Quick Tip - When Uploaded Images Are Not Showing In A Project
When You Can See The Image In The Layers Panel, But Not On The Canvas
Sometimes when you upload an image to Design Space, it does not show up on the screen, although it appears in the layers panel. That is usually because the default upload placed them off the main grid area. It's a quick and simple fix.
Select the item in the layers panel (or "select all")
, then at the top of the screen find the "position" box.
Change it to 2, and 2.
You should then see the items in your work area.
