A Cricut is a die-cutting machine, but it also has other features. The possibilities are endless when using the Cricut machine; you can write, draw, engrave, emboss, and perforate. No one disputes the fact that you can create amazing crafts by hand, but a Cricut machine can make things lot easier and quicker. In addition, the Cricut makes more precise cuts than scissors. To start making crafts, connect your Cricut machine and download the Design Space software at cricut.com/setup. A Cricut machine is really simple to set up.
