FINALLY I figured out how to use it and made a bunch of letters and signs that I needed yesterday. (I'd had to call the company some time ago and they helped with a software problem, but I got discouraged and gave up for a time.) The letters are perfect, and actually easier to place than the ones I used to buy.
So I decided I was allowed to have some fun and this is what I did, or rather what the machine cut out of bright pink paper for me! Its about 8 inches tall. The flower file was a share from a generous person, but the machine will cut any line drawing and there is free software called Inkscape on the internet with which you can convert pictures or your own drawings or what ever into cuttable files! In theory it will cut fabric, but I bought the less expensive machine so I'm not sure how it will work on that.
Wa hoo! So many possibilities. This particular one will make a nice Valentine. Or it would be lovely framed... Its sitting on my black dining room table right now and I'm thinking decoupage it (or THEM as in the ones I make today, lol) on something black...

Well you certainly put your 10 minutes to good use! That turned out remarkable. I think it's great that you can use this machine for your business -- somehow that would justify the price for me...Now you get to use it for your crafting too! Absolutely beautiful design!
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting. The vinyl sticker letters I made yesterday would have cost me $40!!! And it was only 2 lines of about 12 inches long and 1 inch high each!

Thanks for stopping by. I guess you can make more money from that machine and its worth buying. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nifty machine! I think that would look very cool as a valentine!
ReplyDeleteWow! When I started to read "decopage..." I thought you were going to put it right on that table. It looks absolutely stunning against the black. I'd be interested to see what happens if you try some simple shapes on fabrics.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for joining in on Finished for Friday and enjoy your new robocutter!
I am so jealous!! This is awesome! I like the design and the color. What a fun new toy.
ReplyDeleteI have looked at those before, but would not use it enough to justify the expense. Thanks for visiting and nice comment. My garden is not so pretty right now - everything is dead, brown.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool and fun new toy...er..business item! LOL You are going to have so much fun!
ReplyDeleteHmm ten minutes eh? $200.....but it's a business expense, right? I know you will be having lots of fun, uh, cost saving work with this machine!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! I've seen these machines and thought they would be fun to use. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletewow, what a fun gadget! I love that pink cutout.....

Kathy, I wanted to let you know that I plan to run your glass flower tutorial on my blog tomorrow, which is actually today. I'll post it about noonish, okay? I've linked it back to your blog. I know everyone will absolutely love it. Be sure to take the featured button, if you would like to put it on your blog. It would be an honor for me, but it's your blog, so you can do as you wish, mi amigo!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun machine..the cutout is just beautiful. Can't wait to see what you do with it.
ReplyDeleteWow. I have never even heard of a Robocutter. It looks awesome. That flower is so pretty.
