I used the "Cuttin Up"...It is super easy! I used the "Cuttin Up" font cartridge, but any font cartridge would work (Walmart usually has them for about $30). Just make sure you cut the vinyl slowly (set the speed on the dial) and using higher pressure (another dial). The letters on the clipboard tub are 2" and the ones on the cup are 1". I used the cartridge that came with the machine to cut the polka dots (again, 1" and 2"). If you are worried about ruining your vinyl because it is expensive, just practice on some paper first. It really is easy and the directions that come with the machine are super simple to follow. Feel free to contact me if you have any other questions! Once you get the hang of it you will be hooked :)Amanda Plumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00974917534487140693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8407424607656024691.post-85301212972872008662011-07-30T15:44:57.349-04:002011-07-30T15:44:57.349-04:00OK..so question. We have a Cricut at school...but...OK..so question. We have a Cricut at school...but no one has mastered it, and I have just not really ventured to mess with it. But using it with vinyl looks promising. My question is, what cartridge did you use to make the dots and letters? My understanding is that I can't just use it with regular computer tff type fonts without additional software... Yours looks exactly like what I want to do. LMK if you don't mind sharing. =) Thanks!!
