I am an avid scrapbooker and cardmaker and have been for many years.  I found this machine a disaster!  It ruined more paper than it cut.  There are way to many adjustments to make for each letter, each type of paper.  The cartridges are far too expensive.  $89 at Michael's Craft Store.  The machine itself is far too expensive as well at an average of $200.  Most crafters I know are very thrify and do not waste.  This machine will waste a lot of nice paper. 

I am seeing these machines showing up on clearance racks and Hobby Lobby won't even take them back or any of the accessories back for a refund.  When an item shows up on a clearance rack that is a good sign it is not selling.  I also inquired at a local WalMart if they have received many of these as returned items.  The manager told me over 75% were returned, not because they were broken, just that customers were not satisfied with them.
