Hi all, I’m looking at getting my first cutting machine purely for home use activities and hobbies, it’ll mostly be for stickers, cards and kids projects. Obviously Cricut still has the name out there, however there seems to be a lot more on the market these days. I’m looking at either the cricut, the siser Juliet or the Brother SNC. The main things I’m wondering about

Do I have to have a PC or can I use an app on iPad (I don’t have a personal computer? Do I have to pay for a yearly subscription to the company for their software/design program? Are the accessories (different blades/mats/vinyls etc) for the other cutters as accessible from alternative sources as the cricut seem to be ie shien
