    I want that book! As it happens I’ve been considering taking the plunge and buying a cutting machine. This would be a great way to help me decide on which machine to buy.

    I’m thinking of getting a digital machine and think the book would shed a lot of light on what the options are on different brands to choose from.

    I have a Scan N Cut and a Silhouette and don’t know how to use either. This book should help me a lot!

    We had a house fire in 2014 and I lost my original Cricut in it. Loved the old one because it worked off of cartridges – easy to use – easy to understand. The new one I got after the fire (Explore) got me so frustrated that I just put it up on a shelf. This is one HUGE thing I hate to do with any craft stuff. Would love to get to know it better and use it again.

    I don’t own a machine yet but it’s on my buy list. This book might motivate me.

    I love using my Cricut and am always looking for more sources of inspiration that don’t require a Cricut subscription.
