Do not listen to me, listen to the rest of the world. The Cricut Maker is a stunning piece of machinery, for hobbyists, for crafters, for teachers, for home businesses, for students. I've added a few videos below from YouTube to show you what it can do and why it's the machine all is raving about. It arrived on SA's shores (Mid Feb 2021) and the first pre-ordered machines were shipped.
​
It is the machine we've all been waiting for.
The Cricut Maker is the most powerful, most versatile cutting machine from Cricut. It cuts, writes, and scores hundreds of materials–from delicate fabrics and papers to thick leather and balsa wood–in any pattern or image you want. You can design your own projects or download ready-to-use designs. (Get designs on the web and cut)
Get some coffee and continue reading, this might take a while.
