As a maker I’m always looking to expand my manufacturing capabilities. A vinyl cutter flyer came across my desk so I investigated a budget eBay option and took the plunge, purchasing a Refine MH721 (a UScutter clone).

This video is a complete guide on what to expect when buying a vinyl cutter. It covers what to look for in shopping, a tour of the machine, how to use the software to make a variety of stickers (including layered multi-colour), as well as weeding and the use of transfer sheet to make the stickers easy to apply.

Learn from my experiences and then stay tuned for part 2 where I will make some custom clothing with heat transfer vinyl.

This video is a tad long but I wanted to make the type of guide I would have likd to have found when starting out. Therefore it is comprehensive.
