Ok y’all, I have a Silhouette Cameo 3, and I just bit the bullet and got a Cricut Explore Air 2 in Peacock.She’s BEAUTIFUL…I didn’t even know I wanted one! 🤣 I got that instead of replacing my Silhouette since I didn’t really need to.
Now, I just have to learn how to use it! 🤪 Y’all have any tips and tricks???

The software is easy but very different from Silhouette’s software. You can cut Silhouette designs with your Cricut IF you have purchased the SVG version of the Silhouette software. If you design in Silhouette and have the professional/business version of the Silhouette software, you can export your own designs (that you have created yourself) to the Cricut.
I only use the Cricut if I need to cut extra fine detailed designs, or if I want to cut leather. I bought it for cutting leather. And because I saw it at Michaels in a gorgeous shade of blue. It was definitely an impulse buy. However, I have a Cricut Expression and lots of cartridges, so I also use my Explore when I want to make Disney shirts.
I mainly use my Cameo 3, but I can switch out machines pretty fast and easy when I want to.

I learned from users Youtube videos. I thought they were much better than the manufacturer's videos.

There are a lot of helpful YouTube videos. If you search for Cricut beginners, you'll fine a lot. If you already know how to use your Cameo, the Cricut shouldn't be difficult to learn. The software is different, but the basic concepts are the same. In my opinion, the Design Studio software, although still glitchy, is much easier to use than Silhouette Studio. If you have specific questions, I'd be happy to help.
