It's truly an amazing tool but, it's definitely not issue free. Honestly, the machine itself isn't the problem. It's more on the software side. It's a lot to learn but, I'm more "learn as I go".

Another thing is I use software that isn't associated with Cricut like GIMP & Inkscape. I design it 1st then bring it in to design space. I don't pay for anything else they offer.

If you're needing help in deciding to get one or you do end up getting one, I could hopefully help you out with questions you may have. Hopefully! I'm no expert 😂
