Maybe I'll go that route. I'll do some research on the FlexiStarter and see what I can find out. Thanks

Thanks so much for your info, It's looking lilke I might just have to bite the bullet and buy the $500 VE LXI Software.

Sorry, like I said I'm a newb. The drivers, I'm guessing that is the software that you can actually cut from?

Hello everyone, I am new to the forum as of today. So if i'm doing this wrong please please let me know. I am also new to the vinyl cutting business, it's actually more of a hobby right now. I started a couple months ago with a Silhouette Cameo that I received as a gift, it has since turned into an obsession. I have learned a lot about the Silhouette but know pretty much NOTHING about any other cutters or software. I just picked up a Vinyl Express Q100 42" Cutter to see if I can start doing a little bit bigger projects. The only problem is that it did not come with software. So my question is.......What software is good for a beginner? Something free or really cheap would be best for right now as I don't have a lot of money to drop on it at this time. I have the cutter and a computer, I just don't know where to go from here. After doing some research I have noticed there are TONS of different softwares available out there for vinyl cutting. Any advice at all helps at this point, I'm kind of going into this blind right now. Thanks
