It really depends. If you are big on the computer and like creating your own shapes and you want to be able to use any font you want then I would recommend the Silhouette cutter. I LOVE MINE!!!! I also love that you can download 1 image at a time off of their site and not have to purchase an entire line and their customer service is amazing. Talk to Kirk and tell him I said hi if you contact them. The downside is that they don’t have a huge distribution channel so unless your close to an Archivers or your local craft store carries it then you have to order on-line. The Cricut Expression is awesome if you aren’t very computer literate, It is easy to use and doesn’t require a computer. I also like that you can cut up to 24″. However, the cartridges can be expensive. They have a great selection and they are readily available at just about every craft store. Let me know if you have any other questions.

What kind of personal cutter do you use/recommend and where can you purchase it and the program? I’m new to this technology but I REALLY want one! I’m thinking Christmas Thanks for sharing! Blessings!

that sounds cool. the cardstock can be used a couple of times but if it is a shape that you know you’ll want to use over and over, Cricut sells stencil sheets that you can use in any electronic cutter. It is made from a plastic that can be wiped off and reused.

Super cute! I have been doing a ton of things with burlap as well! I use recycled coffee bean bags for my burlap source! I have a question on the cutter and true type font software, does that work with the cricut?
