QVC TSV today is a silhouette machine and looking at it I would say it is exactly the
same as the craft robo it even looks like the robo should be interesting to watch and see what it does.

It is the robo for all intents and purposes it even said cut to robo when they showed it
cutting and with two easy pays great for those who can not afford to lay out the robo cash

It looks great if you dont have a die cut machine, which I dont and I can usually justify any purchase(years of practice) but if I thought of spending that
sort of money hubbie would really think I had lost the plot.Then again his season football ticket is due soon......forgot Ive spent that amount already.Ali x

It looks very impressive but sooooooooo expensive (not that I don't spend that sort of money fairly quickly on bits n bobs I bet!
 I was watching it this
morning and OH must have been getting a bit worried so he said 'oh what's the point of that, the machine does it all for you?'

Oh dear Im soooooooooooo tempted as I dont have a die cutter. The only thing, it is so expensive and I dont know if I can justify putting it on my card as I
dont sell my cards. The only things tempting me is that I often would like to put die cut letters on cards and that would be a big advantage instead of peel
offs.
HELP what will I do????????? I might have to get divorced if I buy it

I do sell cards but still don't think I could justify a big expense like this. I don't go for so many of the shapes, but I would love to be able to use
the intricate swirls etc so popular just now. Instead, I use stamps which I build up into larger swirls, so it's not so bad really.
For letters I use good old scissors to cut out Word letters printed onto background paper. Again, would love to have all the intricate fonts cut out for me. What's that saying about cutting your coat according to your cloth? In many ways, having less gadgetry makes you more inventive, things just take that much longer to do, of course. Re-reading this post it sounds puritanical and I don't mean to be, so for those of you that do have the gadgets, enjoy them! Judy C |

I've recently purchased a Cricut Expression, which I totally love. It's so simple and easy to use for someone as 'slow of mind' as me.
I'm not so good on the computer, which is why I avoided the Craft Robo.

Our craft club were lucky enough to get a grant to buy the Cricut, so am not tempted by this (just as well as I really, really couldn't justify spending
this much money in one go - though I agree if I added up how much I spend on bits and bobs it would soon mount up!)

It does look fab and great value with all the extras you get with it that are worth a lot of money. Can't afford it at the moment though, and i don't
have a die cutter.

I think it is probably only a good investment for people who used lots and lots of cut out fonts on items they sell as it is ridiculously expensive to buy just
one set of alphabet dies but other than that I wouldn't have thought it a necessity.

But lots of people are going to be tempted by the extras, I think. It's identical to the Robo, from what I've seen.

Like, Ruth (Teenie), I have just bought the Cricut Expression, and some extras to go with it, have I done the right thing? Time will tell, when it arrives I
will get Ruth over to give me a few lessons. Suppose it will come handy for my Crafting B Buddies on our crafting days, or when I go to cut out the hundred
plus hearts I might need for wedding cards I might be making for a friend, or when
 ............... well I am trying to justify such a large outlay.

I haven't seen it but if its like the craft robo, I wouldn't dare and it would be far too techie for me and I don't have time or the patience to
learn to use something like that.
I've also recently got a Cricut expression and although I panicked after i'd ordered it as I was worried I wouldn't use it, I have found i use it all the time. It so easy to use too so I'm happy with that. Good job really as I couldn't afford the tsv even if i wanted it Claire xx |
