I have a Cricut and I have cut material with it. I have also engraved bracelets, made an exploding box for a shower gift, used lots of iron-on vinyl designs for shirts. In Design Space with access, there are basic quilt patterns already made and ready to cut. I love it and was afraid to get going with it. Lots of u tubes out there on the Cricut and how to do things. But I am a u tube junky. That's how I started quilting as well. Enjoy your Cricut. Don't be afraid to jump right in. You also get a couple of little projects to get you started using your Cricut.
