  1. 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.

  5. Oh yes! Would greatly help me make ip my mind on which machine to buy, and start me out with some great tips! Thanks

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

  7. 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.

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