Question by : Does anyone know about the Cricut cartridges?
I want to get the Cricut Imagine and it says that you can use the old cartridges too. Now with using the other cartridges will they print any color like the Imagine cartridges or will you have to use a patterns Imagine cartridge? Also, will you be able to pull apart the image into the layers?

Thank you.

Answer by .
you can use the imagin to “color” the images on the old cartrides and they will cut them out……so you can use a white peice of paper and instead of having to use colored papers to do the different layers you can color them yourself with the ink

hope this helps

the main reason i am intererested in getting a Cricut is to make stencils for wall painting. also perhaps to cut some vinyl letter for wall verses. what do i all need…just the Cricut expression? can i use my own stencil paper (mylar)? can i make my own designs? im confused! are there fonts already included or do i have to buy something else that offers fonts ?

Can Xyron Adhesive Dot Transfer Sheets be used to cut cloth on Cricut Machines?

This is the information about the transfer sheets.

Uniform edge-to-edge adhesive for die and laser cuts. The adhesive is dot patterned and breaks appropriately so there are no glue strings hanging in cutout areas. The top mask with the glue from the cutout areas still intact can be set aside for later use. Dot pattern adhesive has a longer shelf life and does not yellow over time when applied to items. Acid free.
4 Sheets, 3.5″ x 4″
These samll sheets of adhesive are wonderful for adhering die cust, aplhabets, or other small items with odd shapes. They create instant stickers. Peel back the top layer of film and lay your die cut face up on the bottom layer. Pres the Top layer back down to spread adhesive on back of Die cut. Peel top layer and pick up die cut. Your die cut will have dots on backside and be permanetly adhered to your Project.

I am interested in making home made bubble gum. I was told the main ingredient to buy would be the gum base. Is this the gum base they were talking about? Or not? If not, where should I buy it?

Does Hobby Lobby Have it?
