    Default Cricut anyone??

    Bought a Cricuit machine because it said it would cut fabric. Have a quilt that has lots of squares and I have arthritis in my hand. Well, it doesn't. After calling the co. and getting different answers each time, it is now gathering dust in my sewing room. Anyone have a success story or advice? Am not into scrapbooking or whatever with paper.

    I use the accuquilt go. I like it. Bought it last November at Joanns on sale.

    I cut with my cricut all the time, you need a very sticky mat, deep cut blade and put heat & bond behind your fabric

    it does, you need to back it with paper and use the deep housing blade and set it on the highest setting. it does cut fabric but for you are probably better off getting a die system like sizzix or accuquilt, sizzix has an electric one but it is pricey

    I just bought an E-bosser that uses all those dies - haven't even had an opportunity to use it yet but I think I will love it. It is electric and on sale for $139.00 (reduced from $199)
