    I have the Explore Air 2, I just upgraded in January from my Cricut Expression which works amazingly, but I cannot use Design Space. My cartridges were enough. I am sure I would be over the top with a Maker, but then I am also sure I would never see the light of day. The Explore fits perfectly for me. I love the mask you cut out, I cut it as a pattern and that has been great. Thank you for this and you other Cricut videos. I love how straightforward and uncomplicated your descriptions are.

    Yes!!!! I’ve looked on UA-cam for a video like this. No one seems to explain very well. Thanks so much!! And I would love a maker because of the ability to cut wood and thicker material.

    Omgoodness!!! I want one of these soooooo bad. My first grandson is is due on July 20th and I’ve seen so many things I’d love to make for him and my daughter. Not to mention, there are so many other great crafting ideas I have seen using various materials I’d love to use this with. ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you for sharing this video. I look forward to the day I’m able to get one.

    I love the way how you explained concepts and steps for all three of these products. This is my first day of wanting to buy a Cricut machine and you were the first video that popped on my feed. I'm going to invest in myself to have fun with this product and do my own t-shirts and label organizations!

    Thank you! I've been waffling, and this helped. I'm going to do some sewing projects, so seeing the versatility of the maker sold me on it, even though I'm new to cutting like this.

  • @emilysumner2696
    @emilysumner2696 3 роки тому +17

    100% interested in the joy because I have limited space and funds and it's the perfect size and a decent price, and I love the idea of quick projects. Small little projects for my classroom, around the house, future craft ventures, etc. Thanks so much for the helpful comparison! This was exactly what I needed.

    • @martygagliardi1576

    Thanks for this! After watching one of your organization videos and seeing the labels that you created, I've wanted a Cricut. For me, the Expore Air 2 would fit my needs. I have another cutting machine that does heavier materials, but I love the labels that you can create with the Explore Air 2.

    Thank you. I really needed this info. I Paint custom sneakers and I'd use it to make stencils. I may need the maker to make reusable stencils but I think I'm going to start with the air and see if it can still do what I need sense it cuts card stock

    @KellieMcRaeHurricaneInHeels 2 роки тому +1

    Thank you for this video, I have just started exploring the possibility of buying one and I was so lost on how they differed since I also sew, I think I will go with the maker for the fabric cutting capabiity. Thanks again for the education that will help me decide.

  • @christinekranz4844
    @christinekranz4844 3 роки тому

    I was going to get the Maker, but realized that I don’t sew like I used to and don’t see a use for cutting tissue paper as of yet. The only thing I might want to try are the thinner woods. That being said, I bought the VERY OLD school Cricut that initially hit the market and this would be my next foray into the Cricut world. With all that being said, I’ve decided on getting the Air 2. Thank you so very much for your help and detailed descriptions! I also just subscribed to your channel! I can’t wait to start following!! 🤗

  • @Jean2235177
    @Jean2235177 3 роки тому

  • @autumnking8880
    @autumnking8880 3 роки тому +4

    This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!! I am leaning towards the Maker so that I can use it on wood, but I want to see some examples of the woodwork it does. Does it make more sense to buy the explore air and then just get a separate CNC Router? 🤔

  • @aprilstephens7857
    @aprilstephens7857 3 роки тому

    I have wanted one of these for years! I have crafted just about everything but have never bought one of these. I was totally overwhelmed with the many different machines and accessories. After researching the different styles and what they do, I think I'm sold! The Maker sounds perfect for the many projects I have in mind.

    I’m gonna be getting a Cricut Joy and I’m so excited! Can you do a video of print-then-cut on the Joy? I’ve seen it be done in videos from smaller channels so it’s definitely possible. My theory on why you “can’t” do it on joy is because the printable vinyl is too wide. I figured if you cut the paper to be less wide after it has been printed it would be cut-able on the joy (with a mat ofc)

I can’t wait to introduce my girls to the way their mom use to be, very crafty and hands on, I cannot wait to order mine and start crafting, definitely subscribing because I feel if I’m not sure on something I’ll be able to come back to your videos.

    12/26/21: Hi Cristina. I've seen a few videos and yours, by far, is the best in explaining which Cricut is best and what they can do. I just received my Cricut Maker for X-mas and I'm a bit intimated by it but determined to learn as much as I can so I'm all over the place researching. I'm also glad you clarified the "decal" word because I wondered what you were talking about at first. LOL! I pronounce it the non-Canadian way. Thanks for sharing and Happy Holidays!

    I had already pretty much convinced myself I was looking for the Maker, but this helped cinch it. I would love to be able to explore all sorts of projects, and being able to cut chipboard, as well as the crepe paper and non-bonded fabric, plus all the vinyl, paper, and sticker paper the other machines can do. My main intent is stickers and decals, but I would like to also use it for sewing projects and chipboard planner covers.

I’ve even recently learned that it can cut things I thought only the Maker can do, such as Faux Leather to make earrings. I can imagine the Joy would be useful to do personalized items at a craft fair because it is portable.

It sure has caught on and become the Crafter’s “go-to” for everything! Since I am disabled, my income is limited 😔 however, I will try to save up for the Maker. Thanks for the links. I will use them. 😊

    What a marvelous presentation! I hope you do other videos showing how to use the machines or how to manage difficult projects that may come up with the Cricket machines. You do it so well. Explain things so thoroughly and clear. I've gone back and forth between the Maker and Air 2 but think I'll settle on the Maker because of the 3-D effect of thicker items it cuts and to be able to get more variety with the finer, more delicate things. Thank you so much.

    I decided to go with the maker! Even though realistically I probably would’ve been fine with the explore air 2, I wanted to future-proof my cricut just in case I wanted to venture out and try different things with it. Plus I’m going to be a teacher so I think the maker will be great! I also got the everything bundle with mine so I’m super excited to get it next week!! Amazing video! 👏🏾👏🏾❤️❤️👌🏾

      How much did the Cricut Maker bundle run you at that time?

    Your information was very clear. I've been looking at cricut machines for a few months now. I believe I'm ready to invest. Thank you 😁

    I would love the maker, because I love to sew and that would make cutting patterns easy and fast
