Thanks for the welcomes, and MZ SKEETER thanks for the heads up on the cutter. I am finding that there is much to be learned when it comes to vinyl cutting and that is definitely one thing I wish I would've researched before buying this model. Well guess I'll use it till it gives up. Definitely finding that when it comes to designing, that the software is not cheap and to me is rather frustrating as it is not a buy the software and that's it, you have to do a subscription to continue to use it.
