Cricut Explorer vs. Silhouette Cameo

Question

I plan to buy either a Cricut or a Silhouette machine. I mainly want to do stencils and monogram decals. Does anyone have either machine? Which machine should I purchase?

Sally · Answer

I recently bought a Silhouette. I was so excited. The loading with their instructions was easy to install. From there, tanked. Can't get the Cricut to talk with my computer. No instructions on their site. Nothing on line, except complaints about the same problems. My excitement has become disappointment. But I'm going to get it to work somehow!!

Just noticed I misspelled 'Silhouette'. Oops

Juli Albright · Answer

There is a TON of information about this if you Google 'differences between Silhouette and Cricut'. Lots of reviews of each machine. Probably have better luck there than on this site :)

Charlotte, sorry about using YOUR question to throw in my question

I have been wondering about the difference, also. I have researched both, and it seems Silhouette is more popular. Since there is no where to buy either brand where I live, guess I will keep dreaming anyway!

They are building a Hobby Lobby here, but darn, can't use the 40% off coupon on these!

I just got a Cricut. Just started playing around and bought a bunch of vinyl. Haven't gotten the layered projects yet. Did this the first hour for my mug. I didn't realize that most of the designs you have to pay like .66 cents each for. Anyway....it was a birthday gift that I asked for....hope I end up using it more. I just hate reading directions. Lol
