Hi Megan. I received a Gypsy as a gift. I have 6 cartridges. The reason why I just have a few is because I have SCAL. You may have answered this question already but I haven’t used the Gypsy yet because I’m concerned that if update the firm way, I will not be able to use SCAL. Thanks for any information you can relay.

I’m so glad I found this site. I will be checking back often and hopefully offering some tips and ideas as I learn. I received my Cri-cut Expression last year for Christmas, yes, you read that right…2009 and I just used it this Christmas and the first thing I made with it was t-shirts! Can you believe that? Then I made some Christmas ornaments. I have been hooked ever since. I have the CDS but just purchased the SCAL for $49.95. I’m hoping they won’t conflict with each other. It sounds like our imaginations is our only limitations with cutting machines. Did anyone find out if you use the SCAL it will void your warranty? I am surprised that software would do that, but you never can tell I suppose. Happy New Year to all!

Megan, Did you ever find out if SCAL will work if you have updated your cricut with the gypsy? I got a gypsy, but wanted to eventually get SCAL as well. Did not see anything here about what you found out. Thanks

I got my Gypsy for 99.00 on Black Friday and there is a website that is having a sale on SCAL for 60.00. I am going to get it since I saved so much money on both. I also was able to find a lot of carts on sale for 25.00 or less between different Michael’s in my state. Hope this helps.

Finally got my cricut this week at Michaels, “Create”, $149.99. Now gypsy is on sale for $149.99 (ends today) at Michaels. Now it was on sale for same price a week ago so don’t feel pushed. Now my issue is buying all the cartridges. Love the idea of using Sure Cuts a Lot. Just off the top of my head with Cricut still in the box, that Sure Cuts a Lot is my best option as I’m at this point more interested in fonts and the fact that you can cut out a word rather than individual letters. I teach Stampin Up classes so I’ll just use this for my crops. Tell me what you think. Love the idea of $75 for it.

I just wanted to say what a great video you did on these topics. Good example of both pros and cons of both products. I personally chose Sure Cuts Alot so I could use it on my laptop. I love it. The more I play with it, the more I am glad I purchased the software. I thought about the Gypsy, but being able to only upload the carts on one was just not for me. Scal has tremendous versitilty for me. Love it!!!! Any one else out there that is more experienced and wants to show off there talents. Please feel free. Kat2230@yahoo.com
