I received my cutter this week and am so excited to get started using it! I previously used a Cricut and eCraft machine for simple cutting but needed to increase the size of cuts that I can make and so am moving up to a 24 inch cutter. I struggled with putting the stand together for my machine (no pictures or directions came with the machine) and finally enlisted my husbands help and I now have a stand with the cutter on top. I just started to try to figure out the software and am hoping to find some answers on this site. Glad to be here and am anxious to start cutting!
