How many of you got new Cricut or Silhouette machines for the holidays? Welcome to the club of "I can make that myself!" when looking at cute t-shirts, signs, home decor, etc. It's a fun club, and we're happy to have you.
If you're new to using the machines, you'll quickly learn that not all fonts are created equal for being easy to work with while cutting out materials like adhesive vinyl and heat transfer vinyl. Honestly, heat transfer is a little bit more forgiving because it has the carrier sheet already attached, so you're less likely to lose smaller pieces.
Adhesive vinyl is a bit trickier since you have to cut it with the machine, weed out the extra material, and then use transfer tape to move it to the surface you're using. That's when things can get frustrating very quickly.
The secret is finding a thicker font that isn't super complicated in design. The thinner the cuts, the more likely you will accidentally tear it while working, or worse yet, you can't get a clean cut, and you waste a whole sheet of vinyl.
Fear not! I have rounded up 10 different fonts that should cut cleanly and transfer well for you, so you can simply pick the best one for your project and get back to making it, instead of spending hours searching for the best font. I'm just a team player like that! These are the best fonts for vinyl.
