   Hi Meagan,
   I did try attaching felt to the white side but this interfacing only bonds on one side. At least the brand you are recommending is only bondable on one side. Please advise.

   Thanks,
   Laura

      Step 3 of the tutorial explains that you will need to use fusible web to attach the second piece of felt to the not bondable backside of the interfacing.

   Hi Lia,

   How do you hide the fusible bonding? I have the felt on one side and this white bonding on the other. Nothing in the instructions.
   Please advise.

   Thanks,
   Laura

      Hi Laura, I have asked Meagan to answer this question (the original one a few days ago) since this is her project. Unlike me, she doesn’t work on weekends. Haha. 😉

   Hi Lia,
   I was able to get this cut on the Cricut maker using the Felt Glitter Bonded setting – More Pressure and run the mat twice through the maker. When you place the felt on the mat move it down and over about 1/4″. I create 3 layouts that made good use of the Felt real estate. My question is how do you hide the fusible bonding? I have the felt on one side and this white bonding on the other. Nothing in the instructions.
   Please advise.

   Thanks,
   Laura

      Hi Laura, in step three of the photo tutorial and written instructions it instructs you to cut a 12×18 piece of fusible webbing, use this webbing to iron another 12×18 sheet of felt to the white interfacing side of the first piece of felt to make it felt on both sides. It sounds like you figured out a layout solution for yourself to cut on the cricut which is great! I attempted to cut on the cricut with the two layers of felt and the thick interfacing. I found it to be too thick and didn’t provide as clean of a cut as the hand rotary cutter, which was very quick and easy while wasting no materials.

   Hi Lia,
   Not sure what you mean. I am a pro at arranging templates to make the most of the material to minimize waste. I will figure out the svg on my own if you cannot provide one.

   Thanks

      I guess what Meagan meant is that she used all of the felt, edge to edge. If you are using the Cricut (at least in my experience), it will not allow you to have a template that is 12 inches wide but will tell you it is too large to cut. The felt is 12×18 so you could make a smaller basket. Another thing I will ask Meagan is if she has attempted cutting the two-layered fused felt on the Cricut. It is quite thick so she simply may not want to recommend the Cricut for this project due to the issues with cutting this type of material.

   Hi Lia,
   I love these baskets They would be a great project for my Cricut Maker. Can you provide an SVG file for this project?

   Thanks,
   Laura

      Hi Laura, this project uses all of the felt pieces so cutting on the Cricut would waste materials. These are nice long straight cuts, perfect for the hand rotary blade.
