How to get great folder style embossing with the Debossing Tip in the Cricut Maker. IMPORTANT. As of v6.10, Cricut has removed the ability to leave the mat loaded as shown in the video. Continue reading for new instructions, related links, etc.
Please call Cricut at 877 727 4288 (USA) or contact them via https://help.cricut.com/hc/en-us/requests/new to let them know the ability to keep the mat loaded, as in versions 6.5-6.10, is important to you.
The current workaround as of version 7.25:
Please note that in order to keep the mat loaded on a computer, you must be using a USB connection.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to save your file before clicking Make it
-Once the cutting mat is completed and you see the large check mark in the center of the screen, unplug the USB cable that connects your computer to your Cricut, from either end.
-Click on Cancel in the lower right and then Yes at the top. That will bring you back to the Prepare screen.
-Choose the next mat from the left hand side of the Prepare screen.
-Plug the USB cable back in and click Continue.
-Perform the next steps per the video.
-Repeat the disconnecting/reconnecting process for each subsequent mat
(Unplug USB BEFORE pressing Done or Cancel on the checkmark screen. Plug it back in when you are on the Prepare Screen BEFORE you press Continue) until all desired runs are complete.
If you are having trouble keeping the mat loaded, disable Bluetooth or unpair your Maker, and, of course, you can still use the 2017 method (video linked below) if you are unable to keep the mat loaded.
