Here’s a video request, how would I cut fabric with my Cricut! Yet another way to try!

How I cut fondant in my Cricut Cake Music: Kevin MacLeod

I’ve tried sooooo many things to try and cut small perfect circles. I’ve tried using an craft knife, scissors, pen cutter with a template, and I still cant cut a perfect circle at the sizes I need. The problem I’m having is I need to cut small paper circles at specific sizes. ( 10mm, 11mm, 12mm, 14mm,16mm, and 19mm )

I’ve looked all over the web and I can’t find circle punches or anything for that size. I’ve thought of purchasing a Cricut die-cutter but I’m not for sure If it will cut my designs out at those sizes? Any information on what I could use or if anyone knows if a die cutter will let me put in my own designs and cut the circles at those sizes would be greatly appreciated!

I have heard that Cricut or Sixxiz machines are simple to use. I have never used a machine before am finally ready to purchase one. I have looked into a product called a Silhouette sd because you don’t need to buy the high priced cartridges but I’ve seen a few reviews that say there will definitely be a learning curve. I’ve also seen something called a Slice Elite that looks fairly simply. I’m concerned about the cost of all these cartridges. Has anyone used the Silhouette sd? How hard is it? Can anyone offer a little insight, suggestions or comments? I sure would appreciate the help. Thank you!
