Who knows Cricut since they changed their programming and no lon

BrendaT :
Can you contact the company?

BrendaT :
Does this help at all? I do not have one personally. Make sure you have the current updated version of software too. Hope you can get that fixed without a huge hassle. There is a Reddit thread about this though. How to Fix 12x12 Cardstock Settings in Design Space• Check Your Load Type Settings:
• Click on your profile name in the upper-right corner (or the menu icon next to Home) and go to Settings.
• Navigate to the Load Type or General tab and verify that your default mat or material load size is set to 12x12 in (On Mat) rather than a smart material or letter size default.
• Verify Your Design Dimensions:
• Remember that even when using a 12x12 inch mat, the maximum actual cutting/printing area is 11.5 x 11.5 inches to leave room for the machine's margins. If your project image exceeds 11.5 inches, Design Space may block the 12x12 mat option.
• Adjust Print-Then-Cut Limits:
• If you are trying to do a Print Then Cut on 12x12 cardstock, Design Space does not always show 12x12 as a direct default paper size in the dropdown. You can work around this by selecting an A3 or larger custom paper size in your system printer dialog or adjusting your material load settings before sending it to cut.
• Select the Right Cut Setting:
• Cricut still manufactures and sells 12x12 options like Cricut Value Cardstock. When cutting, select Light Grip Mat and choose Value Cardstock - 65 lb (176 gsm) in the material list for the cleanest result.

I watched their videos. They didn't help. In fact they were inaccurate. It ate up my one piece of cardstock which was all I needed. 😢 I am going to take a break, and figure it out later and get in my car for one piece of paper.

That is what I did! Pffft!

Now I am going to get on my Sweet Smash game and blow up a bunch of candy up to let out my stress. I'm on level 1500! 🤯 😆

BrendaT :
Did you ever get it working? That's why I just stick to my Big Shot. No software needed. Stress with a machine you need and won't work the way you need it to just sucks your creative fun!

BrendaT :
Hey. The library has a Cricut, and someone who knows how to use it. I don't know if they're in today or not. I also, at Octavia Fields, have a Cricut, and I currently do a Cricut 1 on 1 each week, although they are intended for complete newbies.
But I must say, I don't understand your statement of "no longer use 12 x 12 cardstock" I am looking at Design Space right now, and 12x12 is there? What machine are you using? That being said, I despise Design Space. At one point, I was having to update my presentation every week, because they kept changing the stupid software layout. Finally, I just stopped and I just tell the student to never expect it to look the same twice lol

Mine no longer has 12x12 and there are videos on it. I don't understand why! Steve went out and got me smaller paper. That will get me tgrough for today.

BrendaT :
I see your frustrations. We are all lucky to have first world problems though.

BrendaT: that was a screenshot from current Design Space. Which Cricut do you have? Are you using the program on a computer or tablet or phone?

vinbert :
Computer. I have a Cricut 2.

BrendaT: Explore Air 2? If so, that's what I have and my program is fine 🙂

vinbert :
After this is all over, you ARE coming over!!!Pleeeeze?

BrendaT :
Are you all set for your tea? Did you get everything you were looking for?
