Cricut, Pazzles, Slice, Silhouette etc, What do you wish you'd...

What do you wish you'd known before you purched yours and what would you
do differently if you could go back and do it again?

I dont own an electronic cutter, but I have the Sizzix (which i hardly
ever use anymore) because I also have a Cuttlebug. I think I would
actually like to learn to use a machine like those mentioned, and
practice a lot with it before I purchase it. I would love to have a
Cricut but I dont know which size I would like better, or if I would
really use it a lot to justify the expense.

done differently? Skipped the Pazzles FOR SURE. I'm very computer savy,
worked with design files for my sewing machine and the Pazzles software
is NOT EASY. I even broke down last year and bought Funtime for the
Pazzles, which is easier, but still. The cricut is very easy and
replacement stuff (blades, ect) are abundant. I was up and cutting with
my cricut within minutes of getting it out of the box. I'll eventually
get Sure Cuts Alot for my cricut (when they get around to getting the
Mac version upgrades).
I'm not a gung ho, go with the masses type person, but in this case the
masses are right. The cricut IS the bomb.

decided to mess up. it is a version 1 of cricut. the needle or the housing
is not lifting as it cuts. I see the item that i want cut but it is just a
scratch mark on the paper then the movements of the needle are also seen in
the scratches. I need to find where to send it to be fixed or sell it really
cheap and let someone else worry about it.

SCAL I can create whatever my heart desires and I can use my Cricut to make
Tshirts and decorate cakes and I am even working on a file that hopefully
will let me cut fabric to make liners for my BiPap mask.

definitely and do the Cricut and I really like my Sizzix. I can do
embossing with that where you can't do that with the Cricut.
I am pretty sure if I were to do it over again is get the big Cricut and
forget the little one. You can do bigger stuff with the big cricut.

Klic-N-Kut. I wish thought I would have just bought the Cricut instead.
The KNK is way to much to learn for me. I did sell it and buy the Cricut
Expression. If you are going to buy a Cricut, go for the expression. I
love that I can put a 12x12 piece of paper on it. I use my cricut all the
time for cards. I have the SCAL and use it too for files I buy off the
internet or get free. You can get a weekly free file from
myscrapchicks.com. Love that site.!!! Highly recommended. Now you can buy a
upgrade to the SCAL to cut out the layers and not they whole file at once.

Zip' e Mate a few years ago. I've got a couple dies. I do have a Sizzlet
and just love it. I do only fonts with it. I saw the Cricut commercial for
the first time this morning. They sure make it sound tempting.

for the sizzix. I chose to keep them becasue you can cut chipboard linolium
and such with the sizzix. I found that stampin' up has a few cuttlebug
imbossing folders that are cool that sizzix itself doesn't. They make them
exclusively for stampin up. You can order them from our group rep Debbie.
They are the manhattan flower and petals a plenty (looks like pointsettias)
for $7.95 each. Cutathome.com gives you a 40% off code for one thing each
month from their website. This is how i got most of my spellbinders cutters.

Which size Cricut do you have Tammy? I have been leaning towards the
smaller one, mainly for the lower price. I am hoping to learn more
about the Cricut at our retreat this weekend. Maybe that will convince
me to get one!

Watch for the Black Friday sales. I got my small cricut for $99 when I
bought it on Black Friday a couple of years ago, and my kids bought me the
big one for less that $200 with two carts last year the day after
Thanksgiving.
