<p>I am absolutely glad I did because my machine was brand new still in the wrapping with sticker; however, the only thing missing from the box was the Cricut mats. I am one of those people that will take a chance on an open box deal and have purchased an iPad Pro for this rose Cricut Maker. I am including a picture of my very first project on my Maker. I made Valentine’s Day t-shirt for my little one. The Maker cut the holographic heat transfer vinyl like it was butter.</p>
<p>The shirt turned out beautifully and my daughter loves it. My only qualm is how slow the Maker takes to cut things. I thought it would really speed through the cutting process but that is incorrect. Another thing, use a laptop instead of an iPad or your iPhone. You will have more functions available on a laptop (ie contouring). Also, Dafont is my best friend for free fonts. Don’t spend your hard-earned money on buying fonts or images. Save your money for all the materials you will use to make things!</p> I bought a Brother Scan n cut…tag:hatacademy.com,2019-02-25:6485913:Comment:2571262019-02-25T07:03:22.890ZJayne Coneyhttps://hatacademy.com/profile/JayneConey
<p>I bought a Brother Scan n cut with this in mind a year ago, but I haven't had a go with it yet. Which is ridiculous! I really have to bite the bullet & lean how to use it. </p>

<p>Hi Elizabeth, any tips? I've just bought a Cricut but not even switched it on yet. Have high hopes of saving time cutting petals so if you have any tips to get started I would appreciate it!</p>

<p>Hi Mary,I'd love to know how you go with your scan n cut, I have one too. I purchased mine a year ago in the hope I could use it to cut leather patterns. I've tried but with not much success. </p>

<p>I recently purchased a Big Shot die cutting machine and love it to absolute pieces. Hunting for the right dies can take some time though. I've found that it can easily cut through EVA foam and leather. I haven't tried fabric yet but am hopeful.</p>

<p>Very light fabrics will need to be ironed to freezer paper first.</p>
<p>Leather, etc all fine including balsa wood and metal. All have to be less than 3mm thick.</p>
<p>Will play in the next couple of days, first I have to do a software update.</p>

<p>I'm not sure about chiffon. I am going to buy some chiffon soon and try it. The mats are sticky so maybe that will be enough to hold it???</p>

<p>Thanks, I'm wondering about silk chiffon, satin has a stiffness, chiffon doesn't.</p>
<p>Wondering if you need to starch it or place a piece of freezer paper over it.</p>
