Cricut Expression 2 Cutter
 

I'm thinking about asking Santa for one and I saw that Joann's is having a one day sale on it. Do you own the machine? If so do you like, why,why not? Can you cut fabric with it?

Thanks for responding

If you do a search on this board there are many other threads on this.

yes you can cut fabric, there is a learning curve, keep in mind a cricut you have to use their cartridges, a silhouette or brother scanncut might be a better suit for a quilter than a cricut which is more designed for scrapbooking and very limited to their product. With a silhouette or brother you can scan quilt pattern pieces and cut them for applique, I think the brother even has a quilt pack you can add. plus cricut cartridges run about 30 dollars on sale which can quickly add up to a lot of money. I have some and haven't used them in my MIL's machine. but I do want a scanncut somewhere down the line

I would get the silhouette cameo. It's on sale right now at JC Penney online. Use CREDITSV for 20% off and free shipping (expires tomorrow).
