Yesss!! Enough with cricut , silhouette its so much better! Glad to see you get on board, you can do sooo much with silhouette software it’s waaay better
So is just another machine that cuts paper and vinyl and iron on like the cameo or portrait? 🤷🏻♀️ i don’t really like that is just 12x12 i know the only really cools idea is the engraved but for that we have already laser machines right! This is just my personal opinion people 🤷🏻♀️
This machine is designed for thicker materials like wood and canvas I was just unboxing and testing it out purchasing the power tools separately is what will make this machine shine bright
hello Im' gonna buy it since I saw your videos just one question would it worked with the pixscan ??? thanks for your answer ps : I had before a cameo4
This is looking very good; I assume you can only cut to the 12x12 size, right, there is no larger surface mat or the ability to cut of the roll for vinyl I assume? I'm very curious about cutting thicker materials (up to 3 mm, can that be cardboard, or is it just softer things like foam) and fabric as well. Not sure how they would fare with the ES holding things in place... Colour me intrigued 🤔
@@YouCanTotallyMakeThathi dear am naima frn kenya and Abt to buy both cameo 5 and curio 2 for making weddings cards am I making a mistake also which accessories do I need most pls I need help and thank you
Are you seeing "buggy" performance with the ES mat on this? I am seeing ppl talk about the standalone ES mat and the Curio 2 ES mat shutting off mid-cut. I'd love to know before I upgrade. TIA!
Looking for options different from the Cricut. I have a Maker, but I have been (as many others are stating on different Groups on facebook) having difficulty with their design space. I’m on spring break, wanted to use my Maker, but you can’t even create things with the issues happening to Design Space. Ugh.
Envio el documento a corte y la cuchilla no baja hasta el map de corte, que debo hacer? No he podido usar la máquina desde que la compré, es completamente nueva
Hi Crystal! Loving this Curio 2. ✨I would love to see more of the features of the new Curio and once available here in the Philippines I will definitely purchase one. ✨
Can the curio cut clay too? I try cutting clay with my cricut but use to get stock on the machine because the hight of the proyect. Is it better the curio or the new cameo 5 ?
@@YouCanTotallyMakeThat Thank you so much for your reply will love to see a tutorial, you are an excellent teacher, thanks again, I will be getting one soon.
That thing is huge! It seems like a cool machine, but a little more complicated than the Cricut machines. I'm sure that's probably just until you get used to it like anything else. I love those stickers that you made! They're really cute! I also love that mummy! That would be great as a window cling!
It really is! yes just like another Machine it will be a learning cure for sure. I agree the stickers are so cute Tara is an Amazing artist and I agree that would be a great window cling
I have the old Curio, and it works really well, but this looks cool. And, I love the idea of not having to adjust the platforms for each material. I see people trying to use a regular cutting mat on it, but it looks like in your video, you don’t need it. Do you know why people are trying to use cutting mats? Are there certain materials that still require it? Frankly, if the electrostatic (ES) mat can do it all, I wouldn’t even bother with the cutting mat, so maybe it’s just people aren’t comfortable with the ES mat yet?
Hi Christal I make polymer clay earrings and I wonder if I will be able to cut my clay designs using the curio 2 or the older version ? Would you make a video.
I’ve been slowly and I mean snail crawling to adjust to my cameo 4 pro just because I was so used to my cricut explore air 2. So I keep my cricut on standby but I think I’m ready to box it up and replace where it sits in my craft room for this baby. I’m gonna wait till I can find it and all the damn power tools in stock.
I thought Silhouette was better than Cricut as well, however for me Silhouette does not play nice with Mac computers. Haven’t been able to use cut and print ever and I’ve had 3 Silhouettes and 2 Mac’s over a 10 year period. Not sure with Cricut but it’s extremely frustrating they have no reps to assist with issues your basically 9n your own.
I hate to hear this I would definitely update your Software to the new version and see what happens as they have made improvements to the print and cut as well as Bluetooth
@@YouCanTotallyMakeThat Thank you for responding! I’ve updated the software and tried the calibrating/distant function, but it still doesn’t work. Thinking of getting a Cricut to see if I have better luck!?! Love your video’s by the way!
I haven’t had a silhouette since the very first Cameo. Does this machine do all that the cameo 5 does and then some? I’m trying to decide which to go with. Thank you in advance for your response 🥰
I've had my Curio 2 for 9 days, but I've been afraid to open it up. No more! I'm ready to get to work. Can't wait to emboss and foil everything that isn't nailed down in my craft room. More Curio 2 please! Especially the projects only Curio 2 can do. I now have my Cameo 4, my Portrait 3 and a Curio 2 to complete my workshop!
What is the max card stock weight that can be used on the Curio 2? Would you demonstrate cutting intricate designs on card stock? I am interesting in creating shadow boxs. Also, what are the overall dimensions of this machine including height.
I will look into this information and get back with you I will definitely be showing intricate designs with card stock we are putting this puppy to the test stay tuned
I have the Cameo 1 and 4 Pro, so don't need another machine for cutting vinyl, stickers etc. But will be interested to see the other tools in use when they become available before I make my decision on whether or not to purchase
Was thinking about buying the Cameo 5 but my 3 & 4 are still working so looks like a Curio 2 will find a new home in my craft room. Never knew the purpose of a Caurio until I saw this video so thank you, CrystalAnn!
This is so fascinating! I was intrigued by the electrostatic mat, great video. Silhouette software is so good. If people want to still use their Cricut but are fed up with Design Space they can use Silhouette business edition and export svg to cut in Cricut software.
Second time I’m watching this video CrystalAnn. I’m hoping they come out with an actual wood burning tool for this machine, true unlimited fun possibilities right?.I’m on a MacBook Air m1 need my software to run smooth all around . I’m experiencing trouble with pretty much everything to do with printing within the business edition of the software. Mine does not look the same as the screen of other influencers either. My prints are fabulous within everything else I print on my os Sonoma system. I need to learn all of the tips n tricks within the silhouette business software, how to use the cameo5 and curio2. We Really need a very simple way to achieve a clean trace even on detailed designs within the software. I’ve wanted to achieve perfect print n cut designs for years it is one of my favorite crafting adventures. I hope you are feeling much better.
@@YouCanTotallyMakeThat just last night they updated my Mac again 🙃 now silhouette studio business is way worse. NOW WE CAN NOT USE EITHER MACHINE As Far as bringing any design in to use, even from silhouette own designs. There are possibly more issues… HATE THIS TRYING GET AWAY FROM OTHER COMPANIES, Now this
Hi I’m in the U.K. so May take a while to arrive here but it looks like a great machine. Can you tell me the thickest material this can cut please? For example could it cut 1mm or 3mm felt or foam? Thanks, great video.
Hi CrystalAnn! Would appreciate any informative/how to videos about using the software, I have the business edition just because you can do more with it; that is if you know the best steps to use. How would we print from a software such as affinity or adobe for print n cut projects in order to achieve the best color print outs to cut out stickers etc? Thanks for sharing your knowledge, your excitement. I’ve watch this video 3 times.
Am wondering how this will cut fabric and felt with the rotary blade.. it would be really nice not to have to stick it down to a mat.... though the rotary blade isn't specifcially mentioned, I did see somewhere where the Curio 2 will fit the blades that the Cameo 4 and 5 use...so am assuming that means the rotary blade...
Yes yea yes to more silhouette studio tutorials! Got my Curio 2 last week love it but having issues with the blade not cutting towards the top of the ES bed but it will cut fine when I shift my image down towards the middle of the ES mat. 😢
Yay!! how exciting do you have the Es mat selected and could it be that you need to move your arm up? Ill try to do a short video on this soon to see if it makes more since
some of the features like the engraving for example but it wouldn't be able to cut through as thick of wood as a laser. There is a deep cut blade I need to look into to see how thick
I was ready to downsize once I retired but after watching this demonstration I know I will want a craft room. I look forward to more videos on what the Curio 2 cad do!
It won't let me do the 38 a month it puts it to 107 every 2 weeks when it has the choice of 38 a month and pushed on it, but comes up to 107, so do you know how to get to the 38 a month

I think I might sell my maker and get this machine.
As many others I'm wondering if the ES mat works with fabric and heat'n'bond prepared fabric(?) 🤷♀ Would love your response!
I did one cutting fabric down at the event I will be testing this very soon
