    I have a silhouette and love it. My daughter has a Cricut so I have used both. I would not change my silhouette to Cricut because I love the abilities that I have with my Cameo. Glad you did the video.

      What makes you love your Silhouette more than the Cricut? I can't wait to keep making things with mine!

      I like to make my own designs is one thing. I can do mockups. I can adapt, resize, or take a whole design or only 1 tiny thing and use in another design. I like the different things I can do with the lettering or do my own letters (sizing, changing angles, adding accents, or just changing colors is easy) lol
      You are right that Cricut is for people who don’t want to do a lot of designing themselves and it is more user friendly in the beginning . 😬 Once you learn the Silhouette machine and the software it is great! I do designs or trace things for family. I have enjoyed this ‘art’ since 2012 or 2013 (I have the Cameo 1, 2, 3). I really enjoyed showing someone how to use and have fun with the Silhouette. They are not as quiet as the new one. lol. I think the Cricut is a good machine but it seems more limited to me.

    I actually found this really interesting. It's always helpful to see comparisons and learn how to use new tools. Thanks for sharing it!

    Thanks for sharing! I have the Cameo 4 and I love it. I was thinking it was time for an upgrade and wasn’t sure if I was going to get a Cricut or stay with Silhouette. I just may stay with Silhouette. Have a blessed day!

      The Cameo 5 is great! I can't wait to try more crafting with it.

    I just got the 5 for Mother’s Day and the mat from my kids. I am a cricut user of about seven years as well. I had to take a planner making class and the ladies use silhouette studio which I download it and it’s so much more friendlier for designing. With all the issues Cricut has been having lately I was really intrigued about getting a cameo. I was very surprised to have received this from my adult children. And then my husband got me that we create 40 W laser for Mother’s Day too so I would love to be at home to play all the time but one thing at a time and I do appreciate any classes that you could load on TH-cam for us newbies on the silhouette studio design community.

    I just got the cricut maker 3. I didn't even know the cameo existed until last week. 😅

    Hey there! Do you have any inkjet printer recommendations you love that are affordable and work well with the silhouette cameo 5?

    So no mat needed? Is it the Cameo 4 that you prefer or the Silhouette brand in general? I purchased a Silhouette years ago (before Cricut transitiined from cartridges) and it died after years of use so i have been thinking of getting a Cricut (tiniest model).

    How do you adjust the presure for cutting?

      In Silhouette Studio on the final screen before sending.
