I just started playing with faux leather. Made a couple bookmarks so far and a couple hair bows.

Hi Natalie,
So much depends on which leather you’re using, and it does vary from machine to machine. I basically chose the leather option that I felt was best for what I had and stuck with that setting. It will tell you which blade to insert. The Cricut faux leather is very thin, thinner than the one I used, and cuts with the regular fine point blade. Some of them allow you to choose which blade you’re using, so it won’t work with the thicker faux leather I used here. You can also edit the cut strength here: https://help.cricut.com/hc/en-us/articles/360009383274-How-do-I-use-or-create-a-Custom-material-setting-
If you’re concerned about material waste, I’d recommend cutting a few small circles on different settings until you see which works best for you.

Your steps were super helpful, but could you share which settings you are using with those blades? I know there is a faux leather setting, but it doesn’t say for deep point of knife blade.
