Anyone here have one of these? I want to "print" cat-themed canvas shopping bags to donate to an animal shelter thrift store (I am currently making jewelry that I donate every few months to 3 shelters). I think these would sell for them, which would help the animals.
As a crafter, I pretty much make jewelry, bookmarks, and decorative backing cards for the jewelry I send them. I know you can make lots of stuff with these machines, but I may not have a need for that. However, if these machines are easy to use, I may branch out into keychains, magnets and other printables to donate to the shelters.
I saw a youtube video where someone unboxed the Silhouette 3 for her business use (she uses hers to make stick on vinyl shapes for glass water bottles). I know very little about these machines, such as Cricut, but I wonder if I can use them to apply pictures and lettering to fabric--or do you use special paper, similar to iron-on transfer paper? Would I be better off just printing pictures onto that instead? Would be be an advantage to using one of these machines?
Thanks for your input!
