how does the Cricut Craft Room work with the original Expression Cutting Machine?

I love the craft room. You download the program free from cricut.com. Then you can use physical cartridges or digital ones to create projects and view before cutting them. You can also save projects for future use also. There are online tutorials to show how to use all the special features in the craft room and cricut also gives you free images every week to try out. I love it!

Before about August of 2013, Provo Craft sold each Cricut Cartridges with its own keyboard overlay. It's a rubber pad that's fits over the machine's keyboard. You're able to cut the images based upon the keys pressed. Now, the overlay is universal - meaning it will be used for all future cartridges. It's very simply numbered and the numbers correspond to the images in the booklet that you're able to cut.

I'm not sure if they officially do or not, but it would be a miracle if you got the company to replace anything that was broken. Please do yourself a favor and skip this machine. I was a long-time Cricut user and had all of their machines, but sold them all to buy the Silhouette Cameo. I've never been happier with a due cutting machine! It does everything so much better than any Cricut.

Yes the machine is capable of doing all you can draw in the computer. It deals with images treated specifically to be carved. So you can design anything and it will carve them and a way like a dot matrix printer. I used only one type of bits for wood and did many projects some of them calligraphy. the result was always more than expected. In the other hand, it remains very slow, noisy and excel as a hobby only.

I have no idea. I rarely use mine since one is limited to the designs on a cartridge. I have a regular Cricut I use all the time, The Imagine was not worth the money..

Unfortunately, no. That is the only thing that Cricut is lacking. The only images you can use are the ones that are from the cricut cartridges. Granted, there are a lot of images and you can take just a part of that image and use that part. If your looking to use images you already own and cut them, I would then suggest the Cameo by Silhouette. A co-worker of mine has it and uses her own images. I love my Cricut and enjoy it so much!

I have used this in my Cricut cutting machine but i don't know about the Cameo or silhouette.

I'm sorry, I won't be of much help because I don't have a cricut expression1 machine, so it would not be fair for me to try to answer something that I did not try out. I can tell you that this size is too big for my machine, so I just cut it to fit and it works fine. Good luck.

This software is really old.....it is before they had the Cricut Craft Room...they no longer update the Design Studio with newer designs. I do not know if it would work on Cricut Explore, however, the cricut site for the Explore does support cutting, designing etc. is a lot newer and can do more stuff than the Design Studio did. Now, there is also some software out there you may want to check into--Sure Cuts A Lot by Craft Edge. They have developed some new software that is compatible with the Cricut Explore. I do not know anymore about it other than that---check out their website and you can email them with questions as to what all it can do for you! Hope this answers your questions and adds some additional info for you!

I don't think it is available anymore only the explore has one. You might contact Cricut direct and ask them. Sorry I am sure that isn't what you wanted to hear

I have the older Cricut Expression and it doesn't work connecting it to my Mac. Very disappointing. My computer can't find the cricut when I try to connect the two.

Yes! The Cricut Explore uses the same 12 x 12 and 12 x 24 cutting mats that you currently use with your Expression or Expression 2.

Yes it can. All cartridges can be used on all machines. I have purchased a few cake cartridges for my regular cricut. The only difference is that the cake cartridges don't use so many layers when you're putting a design together. They only use 1 or 2 layers. The regular cartridges can use up to 4-6 layers. I used the cake cartridges to help make valentines for my granddaughters. I loved it because they were just as cute but so much simpler with only a couple layers. My suggestion would be to pick which layers you wanted to use so your design doesn't get so thick if you're using it for a cake design. Hope this helps.

For all answers regarding this software you can go to www.uscutter.com I looked on the package and it didn't say. I found I don't use it since the software that came with my Silhouette does what I need it to do. Wasted my money. May not be the case for you if you have a different cutter.

I have the Cricut Expression so I am not sure! I buy a lot of blades however and I have never noticed that they ask that question. Can't speak for the Explorer but my daughter has the basic & we have bought the same blades together!

She has the Cricut Expression, You should have specs with the machine to let you know if you can handle the size. I just looked up your machine and it does say 12 in x 24 in cutting capability. Sorry but I looked up the wrong machine. All I can find on your machine is 12 x 12. Sorry for misinformation.

I have a Cricut, and it cuts really well on the Cricut. I imagine it would cut just fine on the Cameo, as well.
