Have a look through your books and see what you can find. I have no control over the classroom shows unfortunately. That would have to be a decision by Create and Craft.

Then I move them together so they are touching each other. Then I group them together. After that I go to the advanced level and press weld. If you have any other questions then please feel free to ask.

Sorry, but it is true. For me it is the best machine they have made. I have no control over which machines they put on the shows so I can’t promise any shows on the Imagine.

Bring up a shape on the mat and then press each feature and see how the shape changes xxx <br /><br />Hi Annie They are making the imagine cartridges for the Imagine machine. However you can use the Imagine cartridges (art only) on the E2 and it will allow you to cut all the shapes. On the E2 you have a touch screen and you can see where the images are gong to cut as you have the virtual mat on the screen. The E2 is also updatable and therefore more future friendly. It is not as quick to use as the original expression and you do need to learn what the icons mean but it is a fabulous machine. You can also cut different shapes, in different sizes and different features all at once. Hope that helps Melanie xxxMelaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09416849538893789369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8459526786477913090.post-82441136762296502622012-01-21T17:51:42.995-08:002012-01-21T17:51:42.995-08:00Hi Mel

I love your simple explanations and fab projects, I could do with having you in my craft room for a personal one to one! A while ago you said that you were looking for a medium that would allow you to print onto fabric from your printer / Cricut imagine. I have found a product called bubblejet 2000 that allows you to do this on cotton and silk that you may want to try if you haven't already. Keep up the great work.

Just a quick question, I already have the cricut personal and imagine machines, does the expression do anything different from either of these two machines. I find that the cutting on the imagine seems much slower than the expression when you demonstrate it on TV. Can we have more demo's on the imagine pleeeeeze!!

I have been watching you today and always love your shows and the inspiration you give us all.<br /><br />I love the wreath, but I do not have the relevant cartridge. Could you suggest an alternative that I could use instead?<br /><br />I agree that it would be great to have classroom shows like Barbara Gray has. I think this would give me (and I am sure lots of others) a lot more confidence to use our cricuts a lot more!!<br /><br />Keep up the good work!!<br /><br />Anna xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8459526786477913090.post-63788063157624262982012-01-20T09:35:09.907-08:002012-01-20T09:35:09.907-08:00Like everyone else, I really enjoy your shows and ...Like everyone else, I really enjoy your shows and bought the Cricut Create and Gypsy bundle last year. Whilst i use the Create for everything that I do and built a rather worrying library of cartridges already, I am really not making the most of the Gypsy and only keep it so that i can weld shapes and letters together. BUT, every time I try to do this (and I re-read the instructions each time) I seem to get something wrong. Can you share your usual helpful and clear instructions on this so that I can get this right and use my Gypsy? Thank you so much for your hints, tips and inspiration - all of which are fab :-) <br />liz xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8459526786477913090.post-81718448524997109242012-01-20T08:34:28.911-08:002012-01-20T08:34:28.911-08:00Love your shows Mel, you're so helpful and I l...Love your shows Mel, you're so helpful and I love the way you always 'tell it like it is' too.
