I use the mini pazzles and so far, love it. It is still very new to me and haven't done a lot of designing yet. I look forward to becoming more efficient with it.. *hugs* Helena :

Hi Helena!

While we don't have a lot of support here yet for Pazzles, please feel free to add any tips or tutorials on your machine!

Happy New Year everyone!! I'm new here, and I still don't even have my machine yet, just waiting to hear back from suppliers on costs and shipping etc here in Canada.
This is a great thread, but would love to hear from more of you about what machine you chose and why.......like how do you narrow it down. .....and what you like or don't like about your machine.
I'm really leaning towards the CraftRobo, and wondering if auto trace can really trace intricate images, or if I'll be able to tweak the trace lines if neccessary etc.
I can't even look at what a lot of you are sharing here (images etc) cuz I don't have the program, but I'm enjoying all the information, even tho some of it is still greek to me.
So, hopefully, more of you will share information about your machines, I'm sure there are others like me who would love to know how you chose your machine.......Annie

I have AC-40 which is the same as the Pazzles Pro. I love it...just wish I had more hours in a day

Annie,

You can go ahead and download Robo Master and start practicing Most people still need Robo Master software even if they end up buying a Wishblade (you will eventually understand if you buy a Wishblade). Anyway, you can go ahead and start playing and learning. When your machine arrives, it won't seem like Greek to you. The tutorials on this group are very helpful. You can find the Robo Master software here . . . http://www.scrapbookdiecutter.com/support/ .

Good Luck

Thanks Shirley.......I'm leaning towards the Craft Robo, but having a hard time getting a straight answer about what shipping is (to Canada) from some buyers....
A seller on e bay said this to me in an e mail today have a used wishblade that I am selling. I loved it but I have move on to another machine. The only thing there are no mats but you get the machine, 2 blade packs, o'rings, basic and advance cd, all the instructions booklets for the software and wishblade personal cutter, notebook to hold the cards in, there are 9 memory cards, they are: fonts set: F1 cocktail party, F9 chicken soup, F6 Passion & Chocolate, Shape Set: S15 Travel, S6 Holiday Mix, S25 Wedding, ST13 tags 1, ST3 Positively Connected ll, ST2 Positively Connected l. I used the machine mostly to cut out my iris folding I didn't use any of the cards. I had it listed but no one wanted it I am selling it for 400.00 and 30.00 for shipping I wasn't really thinking about a wishblade at all.......but this might be a good value?? and they are basically the same machine.......Can you use robomaster software with wishblade, and have auto trace (someone told me that is robomaster II software, anybody have that??)

Annie....

I dont think it's a great deal at all! That's just my opinion.

Mats are about $22 for the machine (though you can make your own, it's good to start out with the originals. As for all the shape sets....that is great they are there...but you would have to really look at them and decide if you would use any of the shapes. All the connected words you can quickly make yourself. not sure about some of the others...but unless they are truly shape sets you thing you would use, then it's not a great deal.

you can get a new CR machine for $335 right now...

I'm still waiting on shipping quote from the supplier for shipping to you! They were swamped today with several orders, and I know they only got through half of what I sent them this week. Also, our US Postal Offices were all closed today, in memory of the death of one of our former Presidents. So they couldn't get a quote for you today without them being open! hopefully by tomorrow morning I'll have a quote for you!

Thanks Michelle!! I read that there is a Craft Robo II Machine released in UK, but that they might not release it here.......suppose to have more cutting force ?? I don't want to buy one, then find out next month, I should have waited for the newer model......I guess that's the chance you take, but are they not releasing it here cuz they don't want to give the WB competition?? It gets confusing.....
I'm waiting for the shipping.......I wasn't referring to you by the way.......I know its a holiday In U.S. today......but another site told me 3 different shipping prices, and in the end, I still didn't know what it was.......the sell on e bay, so I think they go by what you pay for the machine.....If you get it for less, you make it up in the shipping. Some have free shipping, but ship to Canada for 1/2 reg

I did talk to Gary today...at the site that supplies to Canada.......he was going to get more info and get back to me.......

I am relativly new to this group.Â* I own a wishblade and I have learned a lot from everyone in the group.Â* Right now I think I will purchase the new software coming out.Â* One drawback with the wishblade is the slow cutting time.Â* I used my sister-in-law's cricket and that really cuts fast but you don't have te abilitly to do as much as you can do with the wishblade.Â* I hope the new software does everything the new wishblade pink will do.
