Nonda K asked:

I haven't decided if I want to get a personal or expression. I know one has more options but the older one is cheaper. So what I am wondering is if I can use all cricut cartridges on either one. Thanks!!

To Those Who Use CRICUT Machines……?

Sunday, January 9th, 2011
LARGE MARGE asked:

I may be interested in purchasing one, but I would like to use my own designs. In order to cut out designs, do you have to purchase different die cartridges, or can you program it to cut your own designs? I have no clue how to use this, but it sure looks interesting!
Let me know your experiences, difficulties (if any), and tips one should know prior to buying one. Thanks in advance. 5 points to the most informative answer!

Is the Cricut Expression worth the investment?

Skeckie asked:

For $350 I'm expecting a LOT. But would it pay off in the long-run to get the cricut, or would it be better to get punches and die cuts and hand-cut things I print from my computer?
ADDED/UPDATE:
I could hug the girl who told me about the Silhouette! They just came out with a portable SD version. I am in love! Don't waste your money on the cricut - I won't!

Will someone please explain the difference between a Sizzix, Xyron, Cuttlebug, and a Cricut?

Monday, December 20th, 2010
momof3smurphs asked:

It looks like a Cricut machine would replace punches because you can cut out shapes and fonts from their cartridges which would replace buying punches . A Sizzix and Cuttlebug cut out things but you have to buy the dies. A Xyron makes stickers and can laminate. Is that the right of it?
Any pros/cons of any one that you have tried?
