Who can afford one of these. Not me.
You could try ebay.com or your local online selling app for a used one. I found a used one (basic model) nothing fancy. Since I wasn’t going to use it for anything spectacular. I thought if I find it useful, I can always upgrade to the newer model.
Can your free files be downloaded NOT using “Yourpdf.online” converter? I get so many viruses that I don’t want to install anymore stuff on my computer. Any advise? Your SVG’s are adorable.
Which one are you trying to download? I am trying to fix them to be zip files but I have a backlog to fix!
Hi, I just bought a cricut maker, I’m using an iPad not a desk top so its a little different and confusing, do you have any tips and tricks for using an ipad? thanks so much

Where are my SVG files? I’ve downloaded them on my Android phone. I’m getting my Cricut Maker in 10 days. I’ll need them.
