I have the older version of this machine and admit I was pretty intimidated by it. I really didn't use it much initially. Well, I finally decided that after spending the money for it --- I better figure out how to use it. The last couple days I went on-line and reviewed a few of their tutorials and last night I did my first Print and Cut!!!! I used some clip art I had on my computer / printed it out and played around til I got it to cut what I printed. Now I'm playing around tweaking the cut lines and fine tuning my cuts. I was a little frustrated at first, but kept going back to the tutorial & now I'm feeling pretty proud that I figured it out! I have a lot of clipart that I have purchased and am thrilled that I will be able to print & let my Silhouette do all the cutting work. I like to make my own stickers & embellishments & now I CAN!!!
