\"Glowforge<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

I’ve had my eye on a Glowforge<\/a> for a long time. I remember watching the Kickstarter videos back in 2015 and dreaming about all of the amazing projects I could make using it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I knew that the files were similar to a Cricut’s files (they both cut SVG digital files) and that there was a lot of crossover between Cricut and Glowforge crafters. But the Glowforge could do things my Cricut can’t (and vice versa!) and I wanted to expand the types of crafts I was making while staying in the “cutting machine” category I love. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we moved to Washington in 2020, I knew I would finally be able to get one. I went from working in a tiny bedroom space to having a larger studio—which meant that I now have the space for a Glowforge<\/a>. So I ordered one and I’ve spent more than three years getting to know my machine! I may not be a total Glowforge expert, but I have enough projects under my belt to feel comfortable sharing how to use the machine with you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m going to start sharing Glowforge crafts (don’t worry Cricut fans, I’ll still be writing Cricut tutorials!), but wanted to write a Glowforge basics post so that I could reference its capabilities in these upcoming tutorial posts. If you’re curious about this laser cutting machine, this post is for you! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
