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!

You are so awsome!! Thanks for showing how to do this!! I was getting so frustrated, but now I think it will work!
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?

I have run the update twice and my cricut still says 2.0 when restarted. The cricut design studio free trail says that my cricut requires a 2nd update pass. I redo the steps but the message never changes. Design studio still says it needs a 2nd pass and my cricut still says its running 2.0. PLEASE PLEASE HELP! I’ve been working on all of this for 6+ hours and still haven’t cut the first thing.
