Buying a craft cutting machine can be a big decision. There are several different types of cutters on the market and they all have very unique features.

CHOOSING THE BEST ELECTRONIC CRAFT CUTTING MACHINE

Whether you are deciding Cricut vs. Silhouette or Cricut vs. Brother, read through the following information and decide which machine fits best with your crafting needs.

SILHOUETTE CAMEO MACHINES

The new and more powerful Cameo 4, which has a 12″ wide cutting area is the newest 12″ model and now there are larger machines that cut 15″ and 20″ wide.

SILHOUETTE PORTRAIT MACHINE

The Silhouette Portrait Machine 3 has many of the same features as the Cameo like Bluetooth capability and the autoblade, but it has a smaller,  8-inch wide capability, which makes it both compact and lightweight.

SILHOUETTE CURIO

The Silhouette Curio machine is a cool little machine and I believe it is meant to be a machine that compliments either the Cameo or Portrait. It’s cutting area is 8.5 inches wide, but you can feed thicker materials into the machine with a wider clearance area.

BROTHER CUTTING MACHINES – ALTERNATIVE TO CRICUT

Brother has come out with a few cool machines over the years that rival the Cricut and Silhouette. Because of its scanning technology, it is unique in its class.
