Review on πŸ”ͺ Enhance Your Craftsmanship with Silhouette America's White Cutting Machine by Michelle Langley

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good upgrade, suitable for scrapbooking and stamping

Okay, I've had the Silhouette SD (one of the early versions) for ten years now. I loved it. But recently I had problems with it and I decided to buy a new car. It's pretty cute. Bluetooth is pretty cool, but since I'm on a desktop I have all the ports I need, so Bluetooth isn't that big of a deal. I like that it cuts very precisely and is almost the same as my old machine so I don't have to learn. I like to create things in Photoshop and then cut them into a silhouette, but the Silhouette software is also pretty basic, there are lots of tutorials, and you usually get the hang of it pretty quickly. I like the car, it's a new automatic knife. It's more expensive, and if it worked I'd be fine with that. I've had to reset mine 5 times now, every time I change settings or use a different material I have to reset it. I ruined some expensive records by doing this (luckily they were cuts I used for small projects, but still not cool). Instead, just manually adjust the settings and know that everything will be right the first time. I will also say that this car is a bit louder than the old silhouette, or maybe it's just in my head? Either way, it's a pretty slick car. ! I mainly use it for vinyl, HTV, stencils, decals and sometimes fabric. Update: I received the adapter set, it says it's only for cameo 4 but it's perfect for this portrait 3 and I love it! Always cuts perfectly!
