Friday, 11 September 2009 02:03 Written by Megan Elizabeth 15 Comments

So you have Design Studio or Sure Cuts a Lot, or you are thinking about purchasing it?

Here is the video you will need to watch!  This video walks you through step by step how to update your Cricut’s Firmware to the correct version to run with the software (Cricut Design Studio or Sure Cuts A Lot) you want to work with.

Please ask me any questions you may have on this post and I will do my best to answer them as quickly as possible.  You can also visit the FAQ video on Sure Cuts a Lot on my site to learn more about SCAL.

Hope this really helps you in an easy manner!

    I need help! I downloaded the trial version of the Cricut Design Studio… Followed your video to update the firmware on my Expression… I run Windows XP on my pc… It states that I need USB drivers for the pc to communicate with the cricut. Where might I find that info?

    Thanks

    Hi,

    I followed the instructions to obtain the Cricut Cutting Guide but when I click to confirm my email it does respond.

    Thanks!

    This guide will help you prevent ripping/tearing paper, beacuse how frustrating is that? There are over 450 cuts done on all different paper brands, fabrics and all the cutting materials I could pack in!

    I just bought the design studio software and tried to do the link up with my machine. At first my computer would not read my machine, I got that fixed and now I can’t get my machine to update. I’m hoping that I can get everything to work tonight because the 40+ minutes of hold time to talk to a real rep at Provo for less than 5 minutes was not a good time. My cricut is all lit up and frozen- any tips to get it back to original status so I can start the update filmwear to work?
