Why Switch from Cut to Draw Mode?
Cut mode is great for creating simple designs, but when you need to create intricate patterns or designs, it can be difficult and time-consuming. Draw mode, on the other hand, allows you to create detailed designs with ease. It also gives you more control over your designs, allowing you to make precise adjustments and create unique patterns.
How to Switch from Cut to Draw Mode
- Open the Cricut mobile app on your phone or tablet.
- Select the design that you want to create in draw mode. If you don’t have a design saved, you can create a new one using the built-in drawing tools.
- Click on the “Mode” button at the top of the screen. This is located next to the “Cut” and “Draw” buttons.
- Select “Draw” mode from the dropdown menu.
- Use the drawing tools to create your design. You can draw using a variety of different shapes, lines, and colors. You can also use the “Undo” and “Redo” buttons to make adjustments to your design as needed.
- Once you’re finished creating your design, click on the “Mode” button again and select “Cut” mode. This will allow you to cut out your design using Cricut’s cutting tools.
