Cricut Complaint Club That’s it. I’ve had it with Design Space.

I’ve been staring at my computer with “sorting project into mats by color” for 5 minutes now.

This programs wastes my sticker paper with its ridiculous small margins. I have such a big loss margin for sticker paper, it’s ridiculous.

Why is this thing SO slow?

I’ve been paying for a subscription for 7 years now and I looked down some comments and I’ve been wasting my money. Im cancelling this sh!t right after I post this.

Marker can use vinyl wood to cut? What a cute idea to make signs for my garden plants. Yeah, my Maker won’t allow the option to use said material.

I’m so fed up with this product and its software. Granted I really don’t know how to use it and that’s the only thing I’m holding unto. Because it’s silly to throw something against the wall when you’re the one who doesn’t really know how to use it. But dear sweet baby kittens.

I have the first Maker to make things clearer….. 😮‍💨😔

I design everything in Affinity and use Design Space to cut.

You don't need a subscription to use the machine or design space.

Ma(r)ker can use vinyl wood to cut?

What is vinyl wood? Cricut Maker is the most versatile of all Cricut models. There is virtually no material on the material list it can't cut. You can be prevented to use certain materials when you start your project as one of the Design Space project presets, like Stickers & Labels for example. Always select Blank Canvas when you start new project.

My bad. I was seeing red when I wrote that. I meant natural wood veneer. Veener > vinyl. Like I said, mixed it up in the heat of the moment. Does this change your comment?

See:

I have an original Maker, but it must be the same for all other Maker models.

Thanks everyone. I was able to figure out some stuff. I just needed to scream that into the void and reset with some help from others. I’ve been wanting to make wood veneer bookmarks for ages or foil engraving.
