How do I fix my Cricut maker cutting alignment?

Remeasure and recut the pieces. You somehow mismeasured one or more of the colors.

Don't cut more than one color at a time, and fit it to the rest of the design before you cut the next piece.

If your Cricut machine is not cutting all the way through your material, or is only scoring the material, choose a machine below for specific troubleshooting tips. Fortunately this issue can usually be resolved with basic troubleshooting.

Remove the blade housing, then remove the blade and ensure that there are not any bits of paper stuck to the blade or lodged inside the blade housing. Ensure that you replace the blade housing correctly into the machine. Once clean, test your cuts again.

Try an arm buoyancy test: gently press down on the black arms that surround the blade housing and then release them. Do they bounce right back up, or do they stick or rub in any way? If they stick or rub, please contact Customer Care through one of the options below for further assistance. If they bounce right back up when released, proceed to 4.

Increase the machine pressure settings and try your cuts again. If this does not change the cut result, proceed to 5.

Increase blade depth by turning the dial at the top of the blade housing. If this does not change the cut result, proceed to 6.

Perform a Hard Reset on the machine. If this does not help, proceed to 7.

Cricket is hung up on the first small cut and keeps repeating that same cut over and over

my cricut expression just started only cutting out half the image does anyone know y??

I would just use a new cutting mat if the mat your using isn't sticky enough your paper will move.

Cricut does not accept jpegs. They use their cartridges that come with the machine and others that you can purchase. However if you have Cricut Design Studio you can design your image with the cricut. Any further questions feel free to ask.
