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

I was just wondering is the gypsy capable of storing free fonts from internet as well as other SVG files (downloaded by SCAL). If so, that would be very convenient. Thank you for all of the info. Great website.

I’ve just ordered the Gypsy but am having second thoughts. I use a Mac and decided to get the Gypsy because I could use DS with it and not with a computer. Am I right that I don’t need a Windows computer to use the Gypsy?
Thanks for answering me.

What’s your opinion on SCAL (sure cuts a lot) vs. MTC (make the cut)?

I just love my newest version of SCAL2. There’s one thing I have to say for Craft Edge, they keep improving between versions and updates are free. I really like the way you can assign different colors for the different layers. Also, I like being able to hide certain layers on the virtual mat when you need to edit a certain area. Some of the simplier tasks that you once have to perform in Inkscape can now be done in SCAL2. You can import jpeg, gif or png files into SCAL2 and trace it. For exmaple, you want a shilouette of a loved one for a scrapbook page. SCAL2 also has group & ungroup and nodes so you can alter your SVG files. I design many cultural theme based mesh that I cut out on my circut and frame to give as gifts to family members and friends on very special occassions. I still use Inkscape to design elements that I don’t have in my modest collection of Circut cartridges. I use my CDS to make quick cards with many of the elements on my cartridges. No Gypsy for me, when I’m on vacation, I want to stay away from any electronic gadgets. If I have an inspiration, I used my good old sketchbook and pencil.

I met you and bought Cricut A to Z at CHA in Anahiem. That dvd is a blessing to me. I did not realize how much I did not know about my Cricut Expression. I knew nothing about Sure Cuts A Lot until accessing your site today. I came to your site looking for a dvd on the gypsy, which I purchased for $199.00 at JoAnns. I hope your dvd on the gypsy will be available soon. I signed up to receive one at CHA. Thanks for helping a nub gain knowledge.
