I have used my Pazzles, but I much prefer my Cricut because I have computer anxiety...the Pazzles is terrific for cutting the files, but I find the software confusing. I am sure it has everything to do with my own anxiety and not the machine. The Cricut is so easy...die cutting for dummies :)June Houckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01592512706384725633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5603420107473421569.post-32531935234775835912011-11-21T23:11:04.937+00:002011-11-21T23:11:04.937+00:00So many more questions!

I have die-hard cricut friends but then they're not bothered about SCAL or svg's. I liked the look of the Pazzle but then it's so much money.

You can cut rolled roses to any size...saves buying the dies or cutting them by hand. Tonight, I've been designing some shaped cards. Oh, and Silhouette give a free design every week, too. And occasionally they do special offers on the downloads in the online store...ENJOY!:)Sashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09225109266349707049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5603420107473421569.post-25551147545216619662011-11-21T21:34:16.828+00:002011-11-21T21:34:16.828+00:00Hello again, Ros.

You can design your own cut files, import your images to print and cut, or if you get stuck you can go into their online store and purchase designs for 99 cents each:)Sashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09225109266349707049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5603420107473421569.post-59554008632997587352011-11-21T21:25:52.954+00:002011-11-21T21:25:52.954+00:00Hi Ros,

I already own the first Silhouette machine that Quickuts brought out a few years ago. It's been a work horse and I haven't had a minutes trouble with it. The only gripe I had was that it only cut up to A4, and around 200gms weight card. The Cameo cuts 12"x12" and I've been cutting up to 350gms without any problem at all. In fact, I feel that it would cut even thicker media.<br />I have literally hundreds of cutting files downloaded FREE from various sources. <br />I really love this machine and can highly recommend it.<br />I bought mine from a well known craft T.V. site and got it on three monthly installments, which I think they are still offering.<br />Hope this info is of help to you:)Sashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09225109266349707049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5603420107473421569.post-60550676355041726112011-11-21T16:55:19.437+00:002011-11-21T16:55:19.437+00:00Really wish I could be of help to you here Ros, I&...Really wish I could be of help to you here Ros, I'm not working with one of these machines either. Only have the Big Shot and quite a lot of dies, which suits me fine. Isn't there a company that allows you to use one of them for a bit? Just to see what suits best? Hope this works out for you!

It wasn't just me as my friend came over who is good with everything and she could not make it work either. Then I bought a Pazzle. You could download your own work and cut it. I still have it, It was more like owning a new computer and I would have needed a lot of classes to use it. Good luck! I just always print out how many ever I need and cut now. It takes more time, but the price of blades alone would be a lot with any machine. do have a wonderful evening, I guess cutting out pieces.Sylviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10507213631107704525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5603420107473421569.post-38032081024334077902011-11-20T16:44:23.127+00:002011-11-20T16:44:23.127+00:00I will be watching for comments.
