This video was really useful. The Explore Air 2 would satisfy my needs but I think the Maker would still be better for a more adaptable future in crafting.

Great video. My boyfriend just got me cricutmarker for my 32 birthday...I'm so excited to used it thanks for the education.

This is an awesome review! I just bought a heat press and it will be here Wednesday, I be been debating on a cricut to go with it and I was at target just now, $249 for the air 2 and I price matched with Amazon and boom got it for 200! Now I’m getting a sweet tea and headed home to open it! Happy Mother’s Day 🤘

[@shantalFLYgurl]

Glad I came across your comment. I been watching videos for decide trying to decide between getting a heat press or a cricut. Now im thinking do I need both? Lol I do a lot of fashion DIYs, styling and been learning how to sew more. Now wanting to get these new machines to create merchandise to sell for mt brand. Idk what to dooooo😩

[@Kayd2111]

Isn’t a heat press just like a giant iron though? Why not start with the Cricut which will provide the designs and you can Iron it at first, then upgrade to the press? Just wondering if there’s more to it

[@TSmith-vk3pu]

@@shantalFLYgurl I'm new to the circuit scene but already have a heat press (have done sublimation) what will the two together create?? thx

[@1907Syndicate]

Keisy Diaz well I do screen printing already so I can do sublimation designs and iron one with it, but it goes much hotter than an iron on so when I screen print it cures the ink really well, I have the cricut maker now and using them hand in hand is amazing!

[@1907Syndicate]

T. Smith cricut is good for cutting out heat transfer vinyl so that your designs are pre cut when you put them on to the shirt, it can also cut out pre printed designs and which is a plus, I really recommend a cricut especially if you already have a heat press because it opens up so many more doors when you have both.

I am just started to look at the Cricut machines, but this review is by far the most straightforward and easy-to-understand review that I have seen. For someone who has minimal knowledge of the features of the Cricut, your review helped me understand both machines without getting lost in the jargon. I am mainly a calligrapher, but I have very interested in the pen and embossing features on the Cricut Maker. Also, I love the photos behind you! You must be an excellent photographer as well! I look forward to exploring your channel in more depth.

I'm so glad I found this video. I'm a pre beginner crafter, I have a lot of ideas for projects and getting different items together, I just need some me time and one of these awesome machines. I never knew what a cricut was for until the other day, now I'm obsessed and have to get one. You helped me decide which one will be right for me. Thanks😊

[@gaarafan93]

Brand new cricuit owner! I decided to go with the Air 2 as I knew I wouldn’t be doing any fabric, wood, leather, and engraving crafts in the future. I wanted to focus on card making and vinyl crafts! I am an absolute beginner but I am hesitant to go all out right out of the gate. I’m going to research and see how to really get used to Design Space to get more comfortable before I start my crafts.

The air explore 2 does cut fabric and faux leather, strong grip mat for those.

Your comparison of these machines has been very concise and informative. You have described what the machine is used for and their differences. I am contemplating buying one, but not sure which one or even if I should. I love what you said about buying things and never finishing a craft!! I had to back it up 3 times to be sure I heard it correctly because I was laughing so hard! Great video, thank you!

If your budget allows- I would recommend the Maker since it sounds like you want make your own clothing and may want to cut fabric.

Maria Reynolds it sounds like you may be able to get away with an Air 2!! But I will say if you read the comments several people regret not splurging for the Maker! So if you can afford the Maker- you know you won’t regret it! You never know if you want to engrave something! 🥰

Cutting fabric: You can iron fabric to freezer paper before cutting. Freezer paper acts like a temporary interfacing, which the fabric peels right off of (and the freezer paper shape can be used a few more times onto fabric. But then you’ll be cutting by hand after that first time in the Cricut. Great for needle-turned appliqué when the raw cut edge isn’t seen because you’re folding it under).

So to clarify, if I’m making things like custom rolling trays, stickers for them, decals, custom tumblrs and shirts... would a maker be needed or could I hold off if that’s all I plan on pursuing for now?

[@jennapederson3334]

Jenna Martin a machine would definitely be needed. These machines cut and draw the only other way you could do this is cutting out everything by hand or doing full paper project (not cutting anything out) by using the machine you could use sticker paper or vinyl and simply cut out the design you need without it you wouldn’t be able to compete the projects you described. Hope this helps!

You could use either machine for your business!

Thanks Karly, just ordered my Maker. I have the air 2 but want to expand with the tools. Thanks to MGL for introduction.

This is so helpful! I think the Air 2 is the best for me and good on my pockets. Anyway, any recommendations for printers that are good for stickers/vinyl/cardstock?

[@javanaguirre4425]

Thank you! Because of your advice and video, I was able to make the final decision and bought my Cricut Maker! I'm very excited to use it, and couldnt have made this decision without your video!
