what is reverse weeding? how do I do it?
In the simplest of terms, reverse weeding is where you transfer your vinyl first and then then weed. Rather than first weeding and then transferring the vinyl.
Benefit: incase of small and intricate cuts, when you weed first and then transfer, it is difficult to get all the tiny particles on the transfer tape. before i learnt how to reverse weed, i used to loose a lot of of my designs because most of than not, i used to be hasty and didn't have the patience to make time for each tiny particle to get stuck to that transfer tape. Sometimes these small materials also move and loose their position. And if they fall of, not to mention how hard it is to pick them up because of its tiny size.
When you reverse weed, you get all of your designs onto the tape. It's fixed, it's steady it's there. No hassle. Now all you need to do is get rid of whatever you don't need. Which is so much simpler! This is why all the professional cricut crafters out there constantly remind people to go for reverse weeding rather than the normal weeding
Now to help you understand better, here are a few pictures showing what exactly the process involves.
