Desktop Computer Review: Graphtec Silhouette Craft Vinyl Cutter Kit w/ ClipArt CD Review

I have both the Silhouette SD and the Cricut Expressions.I love the fact that Silhouette doesn't need any more cartridges and Quickutz offers reasonable image subscriptions.It does take more time to learn to use the Silhouette.I went through all the tutorials on [...] and was amazed with what it can do.The tutorials will take time but definitely worth it.The cutting mat was a real pain, it was too sticky and thin besides the replacements are expensive.I've found a solution though but cutting up a Cricut 12x12 mat to use with Silhouette, it works perfect.There are many ways to make your own mats, just do a search online.There are also ways to make your cricut mat sticky again so one mat lasts almost forever.
