You are the first person to actually say the regular maker is superior to the explore 3. I appreciate your unbiased opinion.

You have answered so many of my questions and even some I didn't know I had. Thanks!! I can't wait to get my new Maker!

Stop smacking your damn lips

Thank you so much for this video! I’ve been researching cricut machines to save time on my felt/sewing crafts. Thank you 💜

Great content. I’m new to this and am tor between the Maker and the compatibility of the Joy.

You are correct, the packaging does not really clarify what they do. Years ago I saw them on QVC, but had no interest. Thanks for the intro.

Hey friend, new subscriber here! I can't wait to get my hands on a Maker 3. I own all of their other machines and love my Maker! Thanks for sharing!

I'm still a little overwhelmed, I am looking to mostly cut poster board and similarly thick vinyl or plastic to make stencils. Which would you recommend? Money isn't the issue, but I don't want to waste it obviously. I like Bluetooth and don't want outdated stuff if I can avoid that. I feel like they price this stuff to make the middle one not worth buying but it's always the one I feel I would benefit from the most... lol. Great video!

Thank you so much for this video! Maker 3 it is. 💚

Loved this video! I have a small business and I use an Explore Air 2, I’m looking to buy an extra machine, but I was wondering if I would be able to use the Explore2 blades (I have the Premium Fine-Points) since I bought a lot of them with the maker 3? And if the maker 3 would be a good fit for me or which one would you recommend? I mostly cut htv and adhesive vinyl. THANK YOU💜

Thank you so much for this informative video ❤️🙌 u just saved alot of time for me . now I can make my choice .

If I would like to make a variety of products eg. Print on for hoodies, tops ect, then cups/bottles, or fabrics like hats, pillows, stickers, notebooks, tote bags....a variety 😂 Which out of the machines do you recommend is best suited for such a variety of products?? Also what's the difference between the normal materials and the smart materials?? Can you use both types on the new machines?? Also slightly worried the maker 3 doesn't seem to have the best reaction in the comments of the main 2 channels I watch...

perfect video to find the best one for my girlfriends needs!

Great video Abbi! Do you have to use the smart materials with the Maker 3?

Btw, your wall looks so cute!

What cricut machine is best to start a sticker business?

Thank you! This is a really helpful video.

I want to purchase a cricut. This would be my first for everything diy crafting. Any suggestions on what machine is best to get your feet wet? I’m afraid I won’t even like doing this? What if I switch to a cup spinner?

Perfect for what I needed to know :D

Thanks for sharing, Abbi!

What are the cons of each machine? For example, I believe the Maker 3 doesn't come with the rotary tool like the Maker does. Is it true you can only use smart materials for matless cutting?

Looking to buy my first one.. do u suggest the explore 2 or 3

Whats a smart material?

So if my main object is to make decals and iron on's which machine would be best. Also which machine will make decals 24" or longer?

Which machine is best for custom cups , stickers , etc ?

Thanks for the video hun, is the mat or without the mat really a big deal. It seems the only big difference Really from The maker to maker 3

Hi! Thx for sharing this. I’m brand new to Crichton and wonder what you think is best for vinyl printing that will go on balloons? Thx!!

Very helpful thanks

Which Cricut machine is best for Cake Toppers

If I have an Explore 3 and want to work on card making, do you recommend still getting a Cricut Joy as well?

Thanks

Question: define “smart materials” please.

Will the cricut maker still make the 12ft long cuts the maker 3 and explore 3 will?

Is the explorer two the same as the explorer air 2?

What a smart material?

I'm torn between the Explore 3 and original Maker

Still fantastic review!

Which is recommend to make labels for containers for my skincare business

Do you have a link for where you got that pegboard?!?!?

Can you make signs with the Cricut joy

Thank you so much for explaining all these, very helpful!

which is best for dollhouse furniture? for cutting thin wood? would that be the maker of maker 3? if so which one would you suggest?

is the maker (old version) faster than explore and air?

I haven't had a new circuit since the days of the cartridges. I"m looking to make confetti/table sprinkles for kids parties at the moment. Is the custom ability in design space available to all models? Can you create non-stock shapes with each of the models you have shown? I don't want to buy something and then find out I cannot create custom shapes.

Thank you

I what it for my cardmaking

I have bought a Cricut Machine .& it will be here tomorrow. I am in New Zealand

What is or what are Smart Materials?

The maker cannot cut smart material though correct?

I'm updating to a maker from an Air 2. I should have bought a maker to start with but didn't know the features of each. I am leaning toward the the maker. What does the maker 3 do that the maker does not do?

Hello! First, thank you so incredibly much for this very helpful vid. I am new to the Cricut world, I currentlyhave a Brother Scan N Cut machine. I have been watching different vids trying to figure out what machine does what and what would be best for me. You are the first one to mention smart materials. What does that mean exactly?

This is very helpful. ❤ Thank youuuu

Random thought: 😊You remind me of that cute lady giving a tour of the Alamo on Pee Wee’s Big Adventure! 😊

Thank you so much! I am super overwhelmed with choices and decided to go with the maker!!!!

Are the fine point blade and pens compatible with all machines aside from the Joy, or do the Explore and Maker models have different ones?

I have the joy but am looking to get the Explorer Air 2. What do you think about the explorer air 2

I just made up my mind after watching many videos. And many years of procrastination...❤️🫂💯💪🙏🙏🙏🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡

If I just plan on making wedding invitations, would the explore 3 be the best/more affordable option?

Very helpful video

Awesome, straight to the point video! Thank you!

Thank you! This has helped me!

Thank you, very informative. I have been contemplating a circuit machine for years. I am a seamstress, what is the best machine for fabric to do my own labels and leather? Small craft projects?

Can we use a USB cable connection from PC/phone/tablet to the Maker 3? Sometimes Bluetooth is unreliable.

You say they cut xxxx numbers of materials but what are they? I'm a card maker and use card upto 300 GSM card card I do that? The joy Is too small. I'm looking to expand my crafts.

Was there ever a maker 2 and if so what happened to it? Just curious lol

Hey i want make things that go on tables n chairs clothes cups and stickers which one will be best for me to use...

Hello Abbi I am only looking to cut out stickers and make permanent vinyle what would you recommend?

Quick question, can the maker 3 be used by a iPad?

I just want to make small boxes. Which machine is best for that?

Thank you for this video!

Great Channel. I like to make stencils when we airbrush on garments, and I also plan to make stickers. Do you recommend the Maker 3?

Hey Abbi im a baker and i need a machine for cake toppers. Which would you recommend

What about the iron on machine that heats up please n thank you

Thank you very much for this video. Answered all my questions and now I know which is the best one for me!

Hi thank you for the time you took to make this video. I want to mostly make stencils for furniture refinishing projects. The stencil would need to be reuseable multiple times...most commercially made stencils are made from a thick, yet pliable, plastic sheet. Do you think the Cricket Joy could handle this? Thank you !!!

I would like to find out something. I've been ending up with small pieces of vinyl around 4"x5", 5"x7" and other smaller pieces in that vicinity where size is concerned. What I would like to know is how can I utilize these small pieces with the Cricut Maker 3, and not have to discard them? Whenever I make a small vinyl design and attach it to the mat, and feed it into the Cricut machine, it comes back out telling me that the piece of vinyl is too small for the job. this of course is not the case as the design is small than piece of vinyl being used. Is the situation here that I always have to use a full 12"x12" piece of vinyl?

Is the original maker compatible with iPads?

Not sure if you mentioned this but can the card mat be used in the larger machines? or only the cricut joy?

What machine you recommend me for wording on bobo balloons ,customized boxes and cake toppers?

I'm looking into making stickers, labels, no bigger than a dollar bil, etc. Would I be okay with the Air 2 or better to get the Explore 3 or Maker 3?

cutting edge , thanks

Thank you that was so informative! Best information I’ve come across
