No tests! No grades! Just a one-on-one class to cover whatever YOU need to learn to be successful with your cutter OR the software. We will talk by phone but I will also connect by VNC to your computer (aassuming you have high-speed Internet) so that I can show and teach directly in the software of your choice. This is an excellent opportunity to learn everything you need to know about your particular cutter and/or the software that accompanies it.
Classes can cover the any of the following machines:
and any of the following software programs:

Special arrangements can be made for classes to be taught in evenings or on weekends.

I was wondering if you could help me. I have made the mistake of purchasing a Cricut Expressions with out knowing about the other cutters on the market. I would very much like to use your cup cake wrapers is there any way I can make my Cricut work with this design? I would so apprecate your help with this. I trully regret not know about other programs with would be better to use and purchas a way different cutter. Thanks for your help.
Sincerely,
Karen Martin
Yes, there is a way. You’ll need to purchase either Make The Cut or Sure Cuts a Lot (I think the first one is the better program currently). This program will allow you to do a lot more with your Expressions, such as use TTF fonts, auto-trace clipart, and import SVG files.
If you look at my latest cupcakes post, you can download Judy’s cupcake wrappers in PDF format. Then you’ll need to download a program called Inkscape from http://www.inkscape.org. Use that program to import the PDF files and save as SVG… and then you can import those SVG versions to cut to your Cricut.
I just opened my Silhouette a couple of months ago after having for two years and then I saw where other software programs can be used with it. I have the original Silhouette. I would like to make arrangements with you for a lesson. I have used it but my cutting does not always cut on the first time. Is this machine as good as the Cricut? I like nestability shapes but do not want to pay for dies. Can I make files and cut them? I am good on the computer and do intermediate work in Photoshop CS3. I also have Illustrator CS3. I have worked with nodes in my embroidery machine software and editing outlines.
Hi Claret! Since you already own Illustrator CS3, you might want to invest time in learning how to use it since you’ll be able to cut directly from this program to your Silhouette. If you want to learn more about your actual cutter, then I’d be happy to teach you and a single 60 minute class will be sufficient. Once you learn the ins and out of cutting, you can then focus on learning how to design your own files. If you decide you need more cutting force and cutting width, then the Cricut Expressions coupled with a software program called Make the Cut, is a definite option. However, if you REALLY get into designing, then I think you’re better off upgrading to a Klic-N-Kut which will import your AI files and provide you a LOT more cutting force and other options.
Sandy, I clicked on the add to cart button for one hr but nothing happend. Can you send me a invoice thru Paypal?
Thanks
I just sent you an invoice… no problem! It’s been a while since I tested out my site. I think you have to located the Shopping Cart button and then once you see the class in the shopping cart, you can proceed from there. Off to test it out again.
Oh yeah… there’s definitely something different about how the classes work versus the videos… I’m glad you let me know about this. I’ll get Chad to check it out.
Oh yay… I fixed it all by myself! lol I might just master WordPress yet! lol
Hi Sandy,
I was so excited to find your site, and so sad to find that you are no longer selling and supporting cutters.
Quick question: I’m researching cutters for use with vintage papers and stencil plastic, possibly felt or other fabrics.
I saw your photo album of various materials that th Klic-N-Kut can cut, but I was wondering if *all* their machines can cut balsa and shrinkydinks or just the larger more expensive machines. I am considering the Groove-E (as well as the Wishblade, Silhouette SD, Pazzels Inspirations, and Craft Robo.)
Any info or input would be lovely.
The Groove-E can cut all the same things that the Maxx models can cut. It has the same maximum force of 950g. The Wishblade, Silhouette and Craft Robo only have about 230g max and other limitations that restrict them to cutting only thin materials such as paper, cardstock and vinyl. The Pazzles has about 500g and it can cut more of the thicker denser materials, however, it doesn’t have a fabric blade, nor the ability to set the parameters in the software for getting great cuts from fabric.
