Shown here with the Cricut machine by itself, here’s a technique that is also helpful with Cricut Design Studio, the Gypsy or with Sure Cuts A Lot. Use this when you need to see in advance exactly where the Cricut is going to cut in relation to the mat. This is especially helpful when cutting around printouts, cropping photographs and any other applications where you want the printing to be perfectly centered or otherwise positioned within the cut.

Great job, I was wondering about the “flap” thing. I didn’t get it from what I read so this was perfect!
Thanks as usual.

Great video! What a wonderful idea! I can totally see how useful this would be with odd shaped items where centerpoint just isn’t so clear! You did a wonderful job, CLEVER ALWAYS (my nickname for you!)!!
Hugs, Joy

Oh nice! That would work with lots of different cutter I think. I think it would work on my AC-40/Pazzles Pro anyhow.

I read this in September when you first posted it. It was so well done, I thought I have that. Today my sister was asking me how she could do this and I said I know because I saw this great video. Turns out I forgot a crucial step.
Fortunately I remembered the name of your blog. My sister and I watched the video and there was the missing element! This works so well (when I remembered all the steps). Thank you so much : )
