It probably would have been much more useful if I actually had a Cricut Expression machine. There was one project that I will be able to create without the use of this particular machine. I did find some very helpful tips and techniques to assist me while using other models of the Cricut. This book was very well put together and will be a benefit to me if I ever upgrade.

Book is for cricut one. I like the projects. I would have to figure them out for my Cricut Explorer 2.

Lots of ideas to try out your Cricut Expression with. The ebook was messed up and and unreadable in some places for the patterns.

Great for the crafter new to Cricut! And a good review for those familiar with it. I love the project ideas in the back and wasn't as hesitant to buy my Expression 2 after reading that it's nearly as simple as using the original Expression.

So much of this doesn't pertain to my needs as I have a plain Cricut...not Cricut Expression.

Lots of written instructions, but not great for a visual learner.

Lots of ideas

Great book for beginners. Gives you a little insight on the expression, but felt it was more for the expression 2 either way has lots of projects.
