QuicKutz Blog: Adventures in Die-Cutting

"Love at first try"

The Silhouette Digital Craft Cutter recently received a very favorable and thorough review on CraftCritique.com. The author of the article, Julia Stainton describes he original skepticism of die-cutting tools and how after finally trying out the Silhouette, she was surprised to find it to be the answer to all of her needs and far exceeding her expectations. In the end she awarded the Silhouette a 9.5 out of 10!

In her own words:

   - "I'm not a fan of expensive cartridges, and what sold me on this machine is the option of using any true-type font that is installed on your computer. The [sizing] options make for almost limitless possibilities."

   - "I'm sure you're like me and have purchased products and tools that you've been excited about but didn't live up to your expectations. This product surpassed all my expectations and is totally worth the investment for me. I initially purchased it as something to play with and as a tool for my kids' projects. But here I am...eating my words and totally happy to be doing so. The more I use it, the more possibilities I see. I love my Silhouette and it's fast becoming one of my favorite tools ever."

   - "The Silhouette is extremely well designed and a tool I'm thrilled to own."

Thanks Julia, we're glad to hear you've enjoyed your experience with the Silhouette so much!
