Review on πŸ”¨ Cricut Crafts & Sewing Arts: Ecraft Cuttings (Variety) by Sasha Hsiao

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Mesh doesn't conform

Pros - cheap without sacrificing quality - high strength - excellent adhesion - not flimsy like the Silhouette brand - thick so my occasional deep cuts don't cut through like the Silhouette Cons There's only one and Unfortunately, that's the only reason I'm looking for other brands. The grid is off. I have cameo 4 and when I align my vinyl to the top left squares of the mat grid the cameo is cut about ΒΌ" up and ΒΌ" to the left. I have no issues with the Silhouette mat and thought it was due to the extra border width of the ecraft mat. When I line up my vinyl with the numbers (where I made the marker lines) and the grid line, it cuts perfectly, but there is no glue on the top and left edges, making it easier for the blade to grab and ruin the cut. The other annoyance with this is that I have to mentally balance that ΒΌ inch with everything I cut that I don't just line up in the corner (z corner). The cut and ID settings put it on the silhouette mat and with the ecraft mat I would have to put the vinyl 1ΒΎ inch down and 3ΒΎ up. I'm still a beginner and this can easily be fixed with my software which I don't know until I figure it out. I hope this review will help others in my not wasting vinyl situation to figure out the problem.
