About VinylCuttingMachines.net

Learn about the team behind VinylCuttingMachines.net - helping crafters find the right cutting machine since 2016!

We've been reviewing and comparing vinyl cutting machines since 2016.

What started as a small project to help fellow crafters navigate the confusing world of Cricut, Silhouette, and other cutting machines has grown into one of the most trusted resources in the crafting community.

What We Do

We buy machines with our own money, test them extensively in real-world crafting scenarios, and publish honest, detailed reviews.

We don't accept free products from manufacturers in exchange for reviews — every opinion on this site is genuinely ours.

Our reviews cover everything from entry-level budget cutters to professional-grade machines. We test with vinyl, cardstock, fabric, leather, balsa wood, and more — because we know crafters use these machines for far more than just vinyl.

Our Team

Steph Osborn — Editor and lead reviewer. Steph has been crafting for over 15 years and has personally tested every major cutting machine released since 2016.

Marnie Hofstadt — Contributing writer specializing in project tutorials, SVG resources, and craft business guides.

How We Make Money

VinylCuttingMachines.net is an independently run site.

We earn revenue through affiliate commissions — when you click a product link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This never influences our reviews or recommendations.
