So, my BFF, who is amazing and wonderful, wants to go in on a cutting machine for me for my 35th birthday in a few months. I assume it's a little selfish on her part as well so she can get me to make shirts and stuff for her family, too. She told me to decide which kind I want, and I'm leaning toward a silhouette Cameo 3, but wanted to see if any of you had experience with/opinions on the Cameo 3 or with the Cricut Explore Air 2.

I have the cricut and like it well enough. I have no experience to compare to a silhouette though.

I have a Cricut and it is pretty good. One of my friends has a Silhouette and it can do things Cricut can't - like offset, or shadow, text but I think it is a little less user friendly. I would recommend watching some YouTube videos of each to see which would be better for you.

I have bought the Silhouette (Cameo 3, forgot to mention) for scrapbooking about a year now and love it - lots of affordable designs!, but can't compare it to Cricut unfortunately, so my experience is limited as well. |

I ended up getting the silhouette! I like the software a lot and so far it's been great for cutting vinyl and HTV.  |

Yes, it's great for vinyl and works well but does take some practice to get it working right (at least, I had to spend some time figuring this out). Gladly there are hundreds of instructional videos on YouTube. Have fun! |
