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.
I saw some of the quilt patterns, mostly pretty basic, and looked much harder to cut with the cutter than via old fashioned rotary cutting ;-).
I don't see any EPP designs for more complex designs (kites and crowns, etc) in Design Space. Am I just missing them?
I've been playing with creating shapes in Illustrator to bring in to the Design Space (don't have the cutter yet, but can register for the software). It works okay.
I am definitely not afraid to jump right in. However, if it doesn't serve the EPP shape need, I won't have a great use for it. No kids, no grandkids, no need for vinyl art that I can really see. We shall see.
