I put the fabric side up, I have never had any problems. The key is to have a sticky mat. I have never used tape on the edges. :)

Where do you get the best buy for the CriCut?

I got mine on sale at Joann's at Christmas for $99.00

If you want the small one it goes on sale for 99.00 all the time. Walmart has the big one for 289.00 but there several online places to buy it alot cheaper than that. :)

My Jo-Ann had the small one for $84 this week and the expression for $249. Now that's a low price :)

"Ok another question. In some of the Eleanor Burns videos she uses some kind of cutter for straight cuts. What is it?"

I also would love to know the answer to this question.

I have the original (small) Cricut...hoping maybe Santa will bring me a larger one for Christmas! :wink: I bought it for quilting, I cut freezer paper and paper-backed fusible for applique with it. I have a nice collection of cartridges, but they are expensive. I also have Cricut Design Studio software that allows me to slightly alter the designs. You are not limited to the Cricut cartridges, there are programs (Make the Cut and Sure Cuts a Lot) that allow you to cut basically anything you want!

I have recently bought the cricut expression also. As much as I love my studio the dies for all the applica's and stuff would cost a fortune. I can even cut lettering with the cricut. They would cost a arm and two legs to buy for a studio. The best of two worlds lol.

Getting interesting.....

So what Cricut is the recommended one if you're going to cut fabric?

They demonstrated the expression as the one to use on fabric. I do not know about the others. But the expression does work. Now to get the cake one Fingures don't like piping anymore either. lol
