Now this is a gift that I never mentioned to him that I had wanted or I never even thought about getting. At first I was not very excited because I thought what exactly will I ever do with this machine? After further educating myself on it I discovered that it will now cut fabric along with many other surfaces such as chipboard, stencil plastic, card stock and many others. Then I thought I would be limited to the cartridges that Cricut makes which are not very cheap but I didn't see many that interested me. However, after further research I found a program called "Sure Cuts A Lot" which allows you to take an SVG file (which can be created in many programs such as Corel Draw, Illustrator and even a freeware program called Inkscape). and design just about anything to cut in fabric or cut my own stencils, etc. So, I have decided to keep it. I am thinking this may just be a neat addition to my quilting and art making supplies.
I have started quilting my quilt top but haven't gotten very far just yet. I have been too busy playing with my new toy.
