Cricut Machines
I have a Cricut Maker.
My model – I bought my Cricut machine in 2021. At the time it was the most current model. The model is still available, and a lot cheaper than the new model. This is my machine available at Spotlight.
The current model is approx double the price, but faster and with more features, including being able to cut to any length – cricut.com/en-au/cricut-maker
There are alternatives to the Cricut to cut stencils. Some of my students have a Brother Scan and Cut machine. I don’t know about their models, but my understanding is you don’t need to upload to the machine via specific software, and seemingly easier to use.
Do an online search for something along the lines of “alternatives to Cricut for cutting my own stencils” and see what comes up. My personal choice is still the Cricut, but it isn’t the only option.
