What is the Best Cricut Machine for Crafting?

Are you looking for the perfect machine to take your crafting to the next level? Look no further than the

Cricut Maker

. This powerful, wireless, and compact machine is the best Cricut machine ever. It comes with a double tool holder, faster cutting speed, and a rotating blade. The Cricut Maker is not the only great machine on the market.

The Cricut 29-0001 is an affordable option that can make cuts up to 12 feet (3.6 m) long in one go. We have also researched and ruled out the Silhouette Cameo 3, Cricut Explore Air, Cricut Explore One, Sizzix Eclips2 and Pazzles Inspiration Vue machines, which are now discontinued. The Cricut Explore 3 is a great choice for those who want to use Smart Materials but don't need professional features. It connects to a computer via Bluetooth or USB, or use the Cricut Design Space application (iOS and Android) on a mobile device.

Plus, Cricut offers great bundles with discounts on accessories like additional blades and replacement cutting mats. Before you start designing anything you're going to print on a Cricut machine, be sure to check the maximum size that your Cricut machine can accommodate. We recommend the Cricut Explore 3 because it has easy-to-use software and makes cleaner cuts than any other we've tried on Silhouette or Brother. The Portrait 2 is another great option for those who want versatility in their cuts. It can cut and draw some transfers of larger t-shirts, signs and costume pieces.

Plus, it has a more affordable price than the Cricut Explore 3 packages. These packages include tools, cutting mats, paper trimmers, additional knives, different types of blades and materials for crafts for beginners, such as vinyl and stock cards. Along with the Explore 3, Cricut launched a new line of what it calls “intelligent materials”, which includes vinyl, cardboard and adhesive paper, which do not require a cutting mat.
