There were undoubtedly many Cricuts given at Christmas, so there are going to be a lot of newbies. Your videos are really helpful. Thanks!

i love how informative you are especially explaining the whole ordeal of CIRCUT. Im thinking of buying one but I want to make sure it is the right one to invest on.

Great vid miss! I actually use one on my job and its working fine for me so far

[ReneeMathews-ne]

FABULOUS video! Thank you so much for all of the info!!

I couldn't decide so I got the Maker last year thanks to you and I love it.

[pixxa]

Fantastic video, thank you, you made things a lot clearer.

I think the Joy is great for beginners, and it also makes the cutest cards! It's what I started with, and I also have a Maker now. However, when I just need to make decal for a mug or something, I usually just use my Joy since it's a small project. The Joy is perfect for those small and/or quick projects, and I love how portable it is too. "So easy to use, even I can do it!"

Hello! Thank you so much for this video! I'd love to buy a Cricut and can't decide which one. I'd love to mostly cut felt, for making items (garlands, etc) for nurseries, but would also like to try cutting think wood into shapes (such as letters and names). Plus exploring other features 😊

Week 2 of being a cricut owner. Your vids are great. Have signed up for your course

[aaronaustrie]

I love how it lets u control the machine with the single use of an app. At first, it was kind of tricky to use but then it became easier the more I played with it

[FranksDIY]

Great job on explaining the different machines. I actually looked at other brands and found them to be similar except for the fact that cricket has an easy user friendly program ove rhte others . I'm glad I went this rout because i'm loving it.

Hi Angie, I'm just starting out with Crcicut and actually waiting for my equipment to arrive. I have a home office with bookshelves etc. Can you do a video or if you have done a video on how to set-up your work area flow that would be so helpful! I watched the glossary one last night and I have to say you are so good at explaining everything. I appreciate it!

[kimmcconnell]

Thanks for the video. I am purchasing a Cricut this week, just not sure what to buy lol I have done a lot of research and I think I will go with the Cricut explorer 2 :) Can't wait to order mine and start creating all kinds of AMAZING stuff :)

Hi Angie, have you done a video on the use of foamarin with the Cricut Maker.
I find your videos so useful. I have had my machine for just over a year and still learning. Thank you 🤔

Creating scrapbooking journals. Just the layouts so sell them so people can write in themed journals

[RealEstateHer]

Thank you!!! What’s the differences between the 3 machines that you have there?? Also I’m looking to purchase but I already have a heat press machine so I simply need something to print self-made designs to vinyl. From there I’ll heat press on shirts…and I’d also want to do labels and other random stuff.

[ambattistella]

Thanks for this video. I’m confused where to start. I’m a photographer and want to start making personalized print boxes for my clients. Probably on linen or velvet. Like adding their name or date and my logo. I also want to make thick pocket envelopes to place the prints in. I’ve looked on Etsy and see so many examples but want to do it myself to save money and hassle of ordering online. Do you offer one on one training?

[najae]

I like working on T- shirts and labeling. Which cricut machine is better

[ReneeMathews-ne]

Angie, I need help deciding which kind of machine i need. I am an elementary school librarian and would like to create eye popping, creative bulletin boards. Which machine would I need?
