Ah, my apologies. I did not noticed it was posted in this sub-forum.

Thanks, and sorry for my ignorance :]Sadly the machine only outputs the designs you bought from quickutz themselves..
If you read this you'll see it only uses the designs you bought, or a truetype font.. :[ Anyone know of any machines that do cut whatever you want them to?
Read Quickutz's FAQ page. The link you posted is a vendor site so of course they want to sell you the pre-made stuff.QuoteWhat types of things can I cut?
* QuicKutz Digital Designs
- 50 are included with the Silhouette software
- Download additional designs through the software
* TrueType Fonts (.ttf extension)
* Images that you create*

Sorry I was running out the door when I typed that. The machines are the Craft Robo, which is the European/Japanese release and the US version is the Quickutz Silhouette. If you do a YouTube search the Craft Robo brings up more results.Sadly the machine only outputs the designs you bought from quickutz themselves..

My wife saw it at a trade show before it was released in the US and based on her description I was already interested. It'll do anything up to cardstock so yes, you'd be able to do stencils, stickers, adhesive patterns, masks, you name it. The cutting head can be replaced with a pen and engraving tip, and probably other things. The only problem is the $350-ish price tag.
My daughter likes building those paper models that you can download. The demo I saw, the guy made a cutting pattern for one of those models, and cut the pattern out of sticker paper after printing the model onto it. To assemble, you simply peel it off and stick the seams together. No glue or scissors needed. Too easy!
