I also own adobe illustrator so I am able to make my own designs to cut out which is awesome. and no additional cost other then the vinyl and paper of course. I am a graphic designer too so it has also helped me to mock up projects! It's great fun! I have the Silhouette and love it!

I like both machines. The Cricut is fun and easy. You don't need to be hooked up to the computer to get a simple shape off the cartridges to print. Most people, however, are going to buy the Design Studio software and hook it up to the computer anyway. It gives them more variety over the cuts. The deep cut blade is nice for cutting thicker materials! Cartridges can run anywhere from $30-80. Which stinks if you just need 1 image! The Silhouette is unlimited in terms of designs and fonts. There are dozens of sites that have FREE file downloads. Any TrueType font or Dingbat can be cut. I find the software much easier to use. Especially, if you like a mat around your words. It only takes seconds to do. The cutting size is however only 7 3/4 in wide. But up to 39 in long. Great for banner sizes Both machines can cut fabric, and the basic papers. You need to determine which fits your crafting needs more: cutting thicker material and at a wider width or narrow width with easy access to designs. I got my QK refurbished from eBay. It works wonderfully! and it came with lots of extras. I have both the Cricut and the Silhouette. I like both machines. The Cricut is fun and easy.

Easy to use - plug and play. Still getting teh hang of it properly but it has lifted my cardmaking skills no end! Previously only had a cuttlebug so I have noticed a huge difference. There are heaps of QZ desgins to choose from. My machine arrived with $25 of free downloads which I haven't used up yet. I have manipulated some designs to suit specific projects but would like to be able to manipulate them more. I will have to learn more about using PhotoShop, etc in order to make best use of my own designs. Overall, love it and have recommnded it to all who will listen!
