I find when trying to make roll patterns with the circuit, its best to draw them up in inkscape and save as svg. After I get it sized the way I want, I draw a long bar just below it wider than everything else with a known length like 6 or 7 inches. Then import that svg into the Cricut Design Space and scale the drawing to the known width of the bar. This makes everything else the size its supposed to be. Then remove the bar so it wont cut.
Its not perfect but it works for me. Really nice rocket by the way. |

I now use my wife's Cricuit more than she does. Hers in an earlier version, but I found a software package called "Sure Cuts A Lot". Then I was able to locate the driver that allowed the laptop to talk to the Cricuit (Cricuit had sued for copyright and had the drivers pulled. You can still find them if you search deep enough). I use it a lot for trim on my rockets.
Attached is the trim for my Estes Magnum. Upgraded the decals to the 'sparkly' vinyl. Definitely worth the effort!
