In reply to Amy. You can definitely upload your own designs! I'm so glad this was helpful to you.

This was really thorough! I’ve been a lifelong crafter and have always done everything by hand but now that I’m starting to do more craft shows and my craft “business” is really picking up I can’t keep up with the demand. I mostly do art on wood and need help with written words/sayings to transfer. I am also wondering if it’s possible to upload my original art, print and cut on Cricut to then transfer to wood, canvas, mugs, shirts, keychains, etc? Seriously I’m a total newbie to this! My cousin was telling me I really needed one!!! But since it is an investment I really want to get the right one. I do a lot of multi-media art and I cut a lot of different fabrics. I also do baby mobiles made from thick felt. Thank you so much!!!

I purchased the new maker and started having issues with the carriage holding the needle after only 3 weeks. I have been told that they are backed up with request and issues on this machine and I am concerned that I am not going to get help in replacing or fixing my machine. Reviews of customer service are terrible, praying this is not the case as I have invested a lot of money. Anyone have any suggestions for resolution would be appreciated. I did like the machine before the 6 times I used it.

In reply to Lisa Beyor. If you are going to be cutting fabric at all, I would definitely go with the Maker, which it sounds like you would for the diaper bags :)

Question – I would like a machine I can use to decorate mugs, T-shirt’s, bags, etc and to cut a few diaper bags I make. Which machine would be the best for me? I keep flipping back and forth between them and they both come with bundles so I am lost. Thank you!

Do the mats, pens, card stock and vinyl that you use for explorer air 2 work for the maker?

What else do I need to buy with the Maker? Such as blades, a mat, etc? I’m not sure what’s included and having a hard time finding it. Thank you for the post! Super helpful! Buying the Maker now 🙂

In reply to Joanna G. So the largest piece of fabric you will be able to cut is 12x24. You can do anything that fits in that space (though rumor has it they are working to expand the size). Children apparel, home decor, stockings, quilt squares, etc. are some of the projects you can do. Let me see if I can find a post that lists everything offered through DS.
