I call myself looking everywhere, but all the answers are probably right in front of my face.

I am very new to SCAL and to the whole Cricut thing. I would really like to make the car initals for my daughter. Not sure what deminsions to use, what to set my cricut on or anything...could someone please help a newbie out???? Thanks!

If you are cutting vinyl the recommended setting to start with are 3-3-3 Speed, Pressure, and Blade Depth. They say not all machines cut quite the same so you may have to play a little to get it right. This will give you the kiss cut it cuts the vinyl but not the backing. Good Luck!
