Yeah it does look good, but there are 3 models the smaller ones in the lower price range that should be right for what I want it for..

Definitely the Cricut. I had the Robo but sold it when I was lucky enough to get a Cricut second hand. There is a software available called SureCutsALot which is REALLY easy to used and means that you can design on your PC (just like the Robo but a lot easier).

I have no experience of the Slice, it looks great but don’t think it would be better.

I don’t have any of them, but the cricut definitely sounds the best.

I wopuld be in a quandary too now having seen you can use software for the cricut that lets you design on your pc.

Karen, do you have a craft shop nearby that sells the machines - you could ask them in there or contact a local craft club if they have news of where one is.
