And that’s the reason a lot of crafters have relied on SCAL over the years. On Design Space, not only do you need to have an active internet connection to cut, but also you need to have a connection to even do your designing. One of the most significant advantages SCAL has over Design Space is that you can use it even offline. The limitation to this is that software system is compatible with Windows operating systems only. Sure Cuts A Lot or SCAL is also not just purposely made for Cricut machine but for different other die-cutting machines as well, such as Craft ROBO, Silhouette, and Wishblade. The problem with using MTC is that it is very tricky and it is also very hard to find the plugin required to use it with a Cricut (pccplugin.dll). You have to use Inkscape or other programs alike to be able to move, add, or delete the individual nodes in your SVG files to make everything under your control.

Aside from Cricut, this software can also be used for other die-cutting machines such as the Craft ROBO, Gazelle, Roland, and Wishblade. * Preferences has option to choose a folder where you should store your lcut2 library files.Make The Cut is a software system that can be used in your Cricut Cutting Machine.
