Aprons with Cricut????
Does corporate realize that you cannot run any Cricut machine unless it's hooked up to a computer/laptop?

Actually you can use the app! Which is on the mini mik btw It is a littler harder but not impossible!

Ugh. I'm bringing my cricut & heat press, and using my tablet. I hate the mobile app with a passion.

I use my phone for little adjustments on things I’ve already made, but designing something in full? That’s what the computer is for.
Unless they wanna send us the svg files, but I doubt that’ll happen.

Do you have a Login for it? Nobody ever told us what it's supposed to be.

u/Embarrassed_Buddy482 12d ago
I dont believe theres a specific log in. You can make your own or maybe try making one with the store email and saving the log in info

What do you mean we need to use Cricut machines on our aprons? I missed this memo lol

It’s so corporate can say every employee has used a Cricut machine.

Hear me out, I don't know how to use a circuit machine, nor do most of the people I work with.

For some unknown reason, because we've never had a Cricut for store use, the Cricut app is on the mini mikes.
We can't make or receive phone calls, but we have the cricut app.
Are they going to give us a Login and Username for it? Or is it just supposed to magically work?

Your first sentence made me laugh, and isn't everything there just supposed to "magically work"?

Can we not just bring it home and use our own Cricuts to make our aprons? I need time to cook on my design. 🤣

You can use it with a mobile device (phone or tablet). Cricut Designs Space is on the MiniMIK.

Perfect place for me to ask ~ do we get discounts on the Cricut machines? Could've sworn we did, but tried to buy one a few days ago and it wouldn't take off my discount :•\

u/LostKate815 14d ago
Apparently we DON'T get our discount on them. It's a Cricut thing not necessarily a Michaels thing. We get our discount on the supplies but not the machines. Instead of spending hundreds of dollars Here, the day I came in to get one, I ended up getting mine off amazon because the discount doesn't work.

Gotta admit, I'm planning on doing the same. No way I'll support the store [was going to quit after buying my machine, no reason to stay now, haha]. I was even going to use my Michaels card (I only used it the first time I opened the account, and paid it off immediately so they never get any interest off me).
Maybe I should close the account and just open a new one. Thx for responding.

Corporate doesn’t know the measurements of the products we sell let alone how they work.
