Tips for cutting fabric on the cricut machine?

Hi I am wanting to try out some applique, and wanted to cut out shapes on my cricut machine. I have looked online for some tips or tutorials, but haven’t really found anything.
I am wanting to know what blade I use, regular or deep. How fast I should cut, and what to set the pressure to.
I will most likely be cutting out thinner fabric, so I doubt I’ll need the deep blade. Would I meed a new mat as well?
Any other tips would be wonderful!

The video covers all that is basic.

Save the paper that you peel from the fusible and use it under and over the fabric to protect the ironing board cover and iron from adhesive build-up.

You can also use a temp spray adhesive and paper to stabilize fabrics that you do not want to fuse to another item.
