- For an optimal result, check that your material has straight edges.
- Once the machine has detected the material under the rollers, it measures it to ensure there is enough for your project.
- If when loading the material bends a little, the machine will try to smooth it as it measures it.
- Smart Materials can bulge when loaded. If your material is not flat at the end of the measurement process, select Download in Design Space and reload it.

Note:Cricut Joy leaves a top margin of 2.5 cm and a lower margin of 1.25 cm so that the rollers can hold and load the material, for the sensors to detect that there is enough material loaded and to allow the displacement of the materials in the machine. To ensure that the dimensions of your Smart Materials are sufficient for your design, do not trim until the machine has finished the cutting process.
