Some basic Information about using the Cricut I wrote in my first article: My magic machines Cricut personal - Part 1
principle, with the Cricut (personal or expression), the transport wheels are made of rubber, the usually in the grooves on the metal rod sitting be pushed aside or removed if you want to cut with the machine or flowers fondant paste. With my first attempt I had the rubber bands just pushed aside because I did not want the new machine rumfrickeln same. But the rings are then automatically gradually back into the center of the bar and moved the flowers to be cut paste damaged. Because I have the machine anyway from the U.S. and had the warranty for obstructions would not go there, I have the rings but then simply cut with a scalpel and settled ... stencil foil and colored paper, but then I can also cut fine without these transport wheels, it is the two rubber wheels wider range left and right!
The rotary switches on the left side of the machine to set the speed and pressure (Pressure) a. My machine is always on and slow Pressure 4, the knife in the housing I have also found to 4. Basically, some attempts have been necessary, trying to find out the correct settings for different materials: there is really no 100% guaranteed success ...
I've found that when cutting flowers paste as important, whether the air is very dry such as during winter or if high humidity and summer is available - the cutter can therefore be quite different result!
I often work with paste flowers for this recipe . But even with Modellierfondant (50/50 these flowers paste and fondant), I have already achieved good results (eg in the Matryoshka-tart). It all depends on the already mentioned conditions and take tests with different compositions and recipes very different results. But it is important for all sugar masses, that is rolled out very thin! 've started my Cricut Tailoring I always rolled out by hand with a Ausrollstab, then I have to Cakecentral and also with Betty Schliephake-Burchardt read on the blog that you can facilitate the rollout through a pasta machine. At a great price (EUR 7.50 + 4.00 CV) have I then bought a used pasta machine on and markt.de role since from it. On my machine I roll by and by setting up the 4th ..
... then I put the paste on the flowers very lightly with greased Palmin soft cutting board and roll on with the roll bar made. 
The towering over the markers paste flowers I cut it off with a cutting wheel. 
The strength of the rolled-out paste flowers should be less than 1 mm - that is really thin! Click on the picture it was a bit too thick, so I had problems when cutting ... 
When it is rolled too thick, dry mass of only superficial, while the bottom of the mat is still wet and sticky and cutting so as to distort the image. The cutting image was gradually getting worse and the inner sections has made it no longer the machine. For small parts to be cut, one has the ability to buffer the freeze with flower paste related cutting mat 15 and then cut immediately. When are the patterns or characters, however, too long and as high as in the example, the freezing method works so well. Then the cutting process takes too long and that is due to thawing, the paste is soft and sticky again, and also condensed the humidity on the cold ground.
for large cutting projects I include the cutting mats in one to two days before, and they put in large zip-off bag. By lying, the whole mass solidifies and can then be cut cleanly after a short, open wait time before cutting. Tests possibilities just with different drying times and, my tips are only suggestions!
beautiful effect is obtained even if you set the rolls rolled out with the pasta machine rollers with structure paste flowers on the surface or structured with silicone temples. Then get the cut pieces in different structures such as Matryoshka this cake. 
Ready SVG's (which is a file format ...) or fonts (fonts), with the help of the program, Sure Cuts A Lot (SCAL) overlap. My web address I have for example made up of individual letters, they are combined using Weld and then cut continuous. After the may have rolled out on a higher BP images was too thick so, I rolled out again (this time even thinner) and then it worked well with the cutting of the lettering :-)
with you as SCAL SVG's already written and cut out all the fonts on your own PC are stored, put together and cut lettering. Also in the program even your own designs and swirls are stored. To work with SCAL there are many tutorials on the web and videos that can be easily found via Google, so I will not dwell on it here. You can buy the software at Craft Edge either by download or on CD as I have.
And because the article has now already become far too long, there's the rest of the info's that come to mind so soon in a separate article ...
