Hi Lee,

Thank you so much for visiting. I’m so happy you enjoyed this post. A very similar (but more comprehensive) guide to Cricut Design Space is in my book The Unofficial Book of Cricut Crafts. That would be the best bet if you want a hard copy. It’s available as both a book and an ebook (which I’m guessing you could print.) You can find it here: https://amzn.to/3fWmFKK

Hi Mary,

Thanks so much for visiting and for asking such a great question.

Attach is used to attach pieces that you all want cut together on a cutting mat. The reason why they are all turning one solid color is that Design Space thinks that you want it to all cut together on one cutting mat.

What you probably are wanting to do is use the Group button. This makes it so that all the pieces one your canvas are in one block so that you can size them and move them around together. Within that group you can attach any of the pieces that are the same color, if you want them to cut the grouped together the way you see them on the screen.

Does that help/make sense? Group is mostly used for on the Design Space Canvas, where Attach is a function that is used for on the cutting mat so that everything cuts together the way you see it on screen (as opposed to making the most efficient use of your cutting material).

Best Wishes,

Crystal
