Does Sure Cuts A Lot Really Work?


The Sure Cuts A Lot software program from Craft Edge helps send the shape you want, including OpenType and True Type fonts, to your craft cutting machine. No special cartridge is needed to work with the SCAL software. Once you download and install the Sure Cuts A Lot software, you will be able to import various image file formats, such as SVG and PDF files, and run the user-friendly WYSIWYG interface to edit, draw, and weld shapes together. Craft Edge makes Sure Cuts A Lot tutorial videos available as well as a free online user forum to learn how to get the most from your craft cutter. Sure Cuts A Lot is compatible with your Windows PC (XP/Vista/7) and Macintosh (Mac OSX 10.4/10.5/10.6) computers and works with Craft ROBO Silhouette/Wishblade and Craftwell eCraft cutters.

I can say it works I have used it now with all four of the digital cutters I own: the cricut, gazelle, the uscutter-MH-871. But the best cutter the Black Cat Cougar. This software with all these cutter now with the exception of the cricut, because Provo Craft has stopped any third party software from being allowed to work with their machines.

Yes - Great Product, Poor Customer Service

I originally bought my Cricut Expression solely because of SCAL. I used it and no cartridges for over a year. I loved it and it worked great. However, when SCAL2 came out and I tried to upgrade, I got a computer generated message that my license had already been upgraded when it had not. SCAL never responded to my emails about this. The computer I used SCAL on was not used by anyone but me, so no one else could have done the upgrade, either. It was clearly a clerical error or someone else mistakenly used my license number, but because of it SCAL expected me to pay full price rather than the upgrade price. I was furious! At that time Make The Cut had come out and I instead bought that, as the owners have said from the beginning that they will never charge more money for any improvements they make in the software, big or small. Turns out I prefer MTC, as it is more intuitive, does more, is always a few steps ahead of SCAL in functionality, has better customer service, and is cheaper! Many, many folks are extremely happy with their SCAL and more power to them, but I couldn’t recommend SCAL because of my experiences.

I really couldn’t live without it. I have used it on my Cricut Expression for years.. It beats being limited to JUST cartridges. With Inkscape- you can creat any file you want then cut it with SCAL-

SCAL is the only reason I bought a Cricut. SCAL is so user-friendly, and there are tons of tutorials on the internet for more advanced functions of the software. It still works with my Cricut Expression. I have only one Cricut cartridge, and I rarely ever use it. SCAL has provided all the design and creative freedom I need! When my Cricut dies, my prerequisite for a new die cutter (one NOT made by Provo Craft) will be that it works with SCAL. I LOVE SCAL!

I have cut all types of svg files. When my computer crashed all I had to do was email this company and I received a download link. I just love the customer service and the SCAL2 system.

SCAL2 makes everything I want to do so much easier! I keep finding new capacity in the program as I learn it better. There is so much to be found that can be used with the program to bring it to my projects. Pictures in seed catalogs, coloring books,; not to mention the wonderful people who share their svgs online. Won’t be without it.

I love my SCAL2. I have cut cards, developed my own projects, and am now looking for a new machine since Provo Craft will not support this Program.

Yes - Must Have Software

I really wanted a Cricut for some of my projects but I was not about to be locked into using expensive cartridges. Sure Cuts A Lot worked wonderfully. I have lots of fonts and personal graphics already on my computer that can be used thanks to this program. DO NOT buy a cutter plotter unless you can use a computer cutting program with it. Any cutter that does not support one should be avoided. The cost of one or two limited cartridges will more than pay for this unlimited software. :D
