hi! i purchased Make The Cut as an early 13th birthday present. I have the Cricut personal cutter and i’ve worked MTC and the Cricut and it seems to work… but apparently it won’t work for any Cricut users any more… and now i’v e spent £40 on it and it keeps doing a cross accross my cut work! So i have to keep pressing ‘cancel’ just in time. but i find that cartrdiges work better that a lot of the softwares for your computer. i tried SCAL and it did’nt work for me. Though make the cut is very easy to used and looks fantastic – it keeps dodging up and ruining my cards! Just thought i’d tell you before you rushed into buying it… and Make the Cut are’nt very good for cash back guarantees…

I have been debating about this program for the past couple of months and after reading up on it, it is time for me to purchase it… I do alot of projects for our local volunteer fire department and ambulance corp and this is going to be great to use for all of that..

I’ve been using SCAL 1 and Inkscape for quite some time now. I’ve upgrade to SCAL 2 a couple months back when I read about the upgraded version. At first, I was a little disappointed because you couldn’t open SCAL 1 files in SCAL 2.
I found out that’s because SCAL 2 has improved so much it has a different format. It”s a good thing I didn’t save too many SCAL 1 files. The two intricate mesh designs I created in SCAL 1 that I really want saved for future use, I was able to recreate in SCAL 2 without too much difficulty, since I had saved most of the raw elements I created in Inkscape. I am still learning Inkscape, it’s great for cleaning up certain traced images. I find the program easy to use and it’s great for designing elements that are not available in my collection of Circut cartridges or my growing collection of SVG files.
Using Inkscape is definitely a learning process,
but well worth it if you create your own design elements.

I will look into MTC after it has been around longer and bugs have been worked out. I was able to hit the ground running with SCAL 2. I Didn’t try the free version just jumped in. I didn’t buy DesignStudio or download inkscape yet.

I got my Cricut Expression for Christmas and a few cartridges, thinking this is going to get expensive.
Then bought SCAL ver 2 and am having a blast! There are lots of free SVGs out there and way cool wingding fonts. Have not even used inkscape yet.
And this is from a “not so techno” old lady !

I need comparisons between SCAL version 2 and MTC.
I am on the fence and keep reading more about SCAL and SCAL ver#2. HELP

Does the MTC software come with the usb cable that connects your computer to your cricut?

I got SCAL Inkscape and DS shortly after getting my CE…used SCAL and thought it was wonderful…Inkscape was a bit harder, but this MTC is absolutely wonderful, the learning curve is low and the software is almost intuitive…very easy to use…have not actually cut anything with it yet, but so far it is way better than the other programs…If any of you are still on the fence, get off it…well worth the purchase price…

I’m on the fence still also. I have tried the trial, but I still don’t understand some stuff. I’m really thinking this is what I want though. Maybe I’ll get it sometime in the near future.

I have been on the fence with SCAL tried the trial version inkscape was to confussing for me. Not a computer person. When I saw MTC downloaded the trial version I bought it the next day. I am so loving this program even without the tutorials I was able to figure it out and that is good for me.LOL
