Holy crap you are good at explaining things, you are so thorough and clear! You should be a teacher!

I have had my Expressions for ages and your video explained so many features that were a mystery to me. Thank you for your clear explanations.

My neighbor just gave me her cricut expression. Going to learn how to use it. Love your video.💜💜

Thank god I found you. I finally after years of sitting in a box....am using my Expression! Between caretaking, moving and trying to put a house back together, AND working a job. I had no time to pursue my craft room. THIS was so valuable. Maybe I might even get to use the Expression this weekend!!!

THANK YOU!!! This is BY FAR the best tutorial for this machine. I couldn't watch the Cricut official version as it was absolutely useless! Once again.. Thank you xx

Bought my Cricut cut from a garage sale yesterday, I am so glad I found your video, it all makes perfect sense. Thank you!!!

[melonicutberth]

Thank you so very much for this!!! I have been using mine for work and it has saved me literally hours of hand work but NOW... Wow! Now I can actually use all those buttons that I had no idea about! Thank you!

Your explanations are great! I haven’t used my Expression in 6 years and need to give it another try.

"Pause to read this..." oh my goodness you are so AWESOME and I am so glad I found you and this video. I am brand new to this old machine.

Yesterday, I got my deceased sister's cricuit expression (original model) without a manuel or power cord (ordered 2 possibilities on Amazon) plus 2 cartridges. THANKFULLY, ur video was available, easy to understand & follow that I'm encouraged to use it. I will definitely refer to it again once my cords get here & as needed.

Thank you a thousand times!! Excellent instructions!!

My mama passed away a few years ago and I am trying to learn to use her old Cricut machine. Thank you for this video. Thank you for making me feel like my mama is here. :)

[margueritebrown]

Thank you for this video. My sister gave me her Cricut and I learn from videos when the instructions never make sense to me. You are a great teacher.

[matthewmathis]

Thank you for the video!
I'm trying to figure out how to use this thing...
Thanks for the help! :)

bought mine when it first came out, and was able to get a green Black Friday sale. After all these years, it just stopped cutting about 2 months ago - and I'm now looking for a replacement. LOVE this machine. Do not want the ones that need a computer... great video for beginners. you did a great job of how to use this awesome machine !!

[emilyenders]

This was the best video for this device! Thank you so much!

[teresavella]

Just brought one of these, thought I made a mistake in getting it. Thanks for the video

[RachelHouse-sqse]

Thank you so much! All my friends have current machines and I've had the cricut expression on a shelf for many years, not knowing how to use it! I'm excited to have found a video that addresses my actual machine.

I found your video very easy to follow to become familiar with my old cricut expression. To be honest my cricut was in the box since it was first bought(probably 10 years). I never used it, but now that I have retired I reorganized my craft room and thought I should learn how to use the expression. Thanks again for your video.

This was super helpful. I was given this machine for free so had no idea how to use it.
