    I’ve had my Cricut Maker for over a year. It’s been sitting in the box bc I was too intimidated by it to get started. After watching your video today I finally got it out and made my first project! Thank you so much for making it so easy!

    Thank you for your ***UPDATE***Just set up and went through registration, the only thing it had me do was a practice cut! I kept looking for the walk through of a small project. The Cricut packaging had it there but nothing online. I thought I was doing something wrong and was going to call on Monday. You saved me the time. I'm going to subscribe so I don't miss you project video. It's all so foreign to me and I'm intimidated.

Like many others I was too intimidated by this machine to get started. When I finally decided to take the plunge, it would not sic up with my computer (old with Windows 7 on it). Had to get a new computer. So here I am trying to figure out two new machines and with you help I made my first card! Yea!!!! I love this machine!

So I finally went and got one, but I haven't opened the box yet. But that changes this weekend!!!

    Thank you so much for this video! Opened my new circuit maker and played your video on my iPad to set up the machine and make the included kite card. There was a slight glitch on my computer (didn’t automatically take me to the card on the first try) but by following along with your video, spotted the error immediately. Went back a couple of screens and everything loaded fine the second time. However, without following along with your video I would likely have been lost when the card didn’t automatically appear. You made everything appear as simple as it actually is. Appreciated you taking the time to show the correct way to install each blade. A link to to your site should be included in the box. Again, thank you!

So ridiculous to pay a small fortune for the machine and have to pay for every blasted thing you want to do with it. Money eater and is feeling very much like a ripoff to me!

Mine is due for delivery on March 20th. But I won’t bother opening the package and just send it back for a refund. Cost to much for never ending expenses. Your comment is very much appreciated.

      @@PracticallyFunctional that's a good Idea. I know that saves lot of time. I haven't done anything but the practice project but I plan on trying a glass today.

    Got a cricut but Mine didn't come with the fabric? It came with just the white and blue card stock. But thank you for the video it was very helpful!
