wishblade purchase

**luv2craft** · 06-28-2007, 06:28 AM

I just wondered for those of you who have the Wishblade, where did you purchase it at? I haven't really checked but I don't think J's or M's sells them. Did you purchase it from Xyron directly? Also, how is the learning curve on it?

Thanks much!!!
Dawn

Well my wishblade arrived today it took me awhile to install the drivers. I even got it to cut for the first time. I bought it from a website called simplyscrap in AZ. I didn't pay sales tax or shipping so I got it for $399.00. I ordered it on Tuesday and it arrived today. Yahoo. I'm so happy. I'm so happy.

It's a good price, but I just can't justify it for myself at this time.

I saw a demo of one a few weeks ago at a crop. I didn't try it because I didn't like the fonts that they had to use there. It didn't look like you could specify a size though unless the woman who had it just didn't know how to do that. It's much smaller than I thought it would be. It was pretty cool.

Cass, are you talking about the Wishblade? You can size the fonts from 1/4" up to 8" and you can use any TTF on your computer. I have even made the first letter of my youngest DD's name 8" and then cut her name out on the side of the letter. There are lots of cool things you can do with the Wishblade.

Dawn, if you are thinking of getting one, I highly recommend joining up here at this Wishblade group and do the tutorials. The WB manual is NOT user friendly, it is currently being re-written, but the tutorials are great!

This WB group is run by Martha who is posted above as selling the WB. She is very nice and very helpful too. All the ladies over there are very helpful and they share files for the WB that you can download too.

Duh! Got sidetracked there. My DH bought my WB from HSN when they had it on the first time. It was $399.00 if I remember correctly. HSN offers the flex pay plan and I know a few of the ladies got one then too.

I bought my Wb from Martha from the yahoo group. She has a store in CA. Great lady and wonderful to work with. You'll love the machine once you get used to it!

I have owned my wishblade for over 2 weeks and I love it. Yes it was difficult to figure out at first but there are tons of free files all over the internet. These are some titles that I created. The Albuquerque one I did first so I didn't do a good welding but the other 2 I just did today
