I got a Cricut Expression for Mother's Day last year and love it and use it regularly. It is so easy to use and has endless possibilities. I have over 10 cartrdiges and use it regularly. I also purchased the Deep Blade and I have cut fabric and chipboard easily.

The Cricut Expression cuts in 1/4" incriments from 1/4" tall to 24" tall. It can also cut mirror images along with may other features. There is also a feature so as not to waste paper and you can center the blade on a picture and it will cut the desired shape centering the image in the picture.

The blades last a long time as I just replaced my first blade a few weeks ago. I go through mats frequently, but re-sticky them by spraying them with a quilt spray adhesive.

My only complaint is when it cuts letters they do not come out clean and tear a lot of the time. Otherwise, I love the Cricut and use it for quilting, scrapbooking and card making.

Comments about Sweyo’s Review

I'm a little upset that I've spent the amount of money on the Expressions. I tried using it to make invitations and found that the machine doesn't cut straight at all. We ended up using a regular paper cutter to do the job. I could have saved almost 300.00. I'm sure that some of it was user error but I haven't found any websites or classes in my area to learn how to use it better. most people say "play with it". It was an expensive toy to learn by trial and error. I'm just not happy with it.
