Comments

Jac Sa: If you have an old machine and try to use it with the new cartridges you'll need this overlay. It's very easy to use.

Lynne: Item as expected. Good price. Took a while to be delivered but I wasn’t in a hurry for it so that was fine.

Scrapbkr: It is too bad that there will no longer be cartridges. I am not the digital type.

MDizzle: Bought it, not really sure what it was for or if I'd ever use it. My neighbor took the time to show me how to use it. I'm grateful because it's cool to have, but I don't really use or need it for the projects I make. Guess it's time to branch out so I can make good use of the money I spent on it.

Sue in SC: Once upon a time each cartridge came with its own overlay but those days seem to be gone. I was going crazy trying to figure out how to use my new cartridge which didn't come with an overlay with one I had from another cartridge. It was so annoying I just bought this universal overlay and I am glad I did: no more counting. The ones that come with the older cartridges have the top row with numbers to 10 (actually it shows 10 as "0") but that is where they stop but now every key is numbered. When I look at my new cartridge book and it says it is #35, I know which button at a glance. The alphabet and some characters are in the upper right corner of the numbered keys so you can do words without having to change the overlay. It also still gives the function keys on the left which are numbered (1-6) and the same 4 bottom key as with the old overlays (paper saver, shift, etc). The right side is the same as the old cartridges as well although I did notice they used different terms on a couple of the keys. It isn't a big deal as it is simple to figure out what they mean, for example on the left side the old overlays have "paper saver" and this universal one calls it "material saver", on...

Elizabeth Fisher: I bought this to go with a cartridge that I purchased that didn't come with an overlay. I was concerned that it would be difficult to use and that I would have to refer to the book that came with the cartridge repeatedly, but that was not the case. I have not used this for anything other than letters, but those are clearly marked on the overlay and easy to find. I would recommend this to anyone who purchases cartridges that don't come with the overlay, and I will be able to purchase more cartridges in the future now that I have this.

Mary Hanson: This overlay works just like any other Cricut overlay, but this is just ProvoCrafts way of cheaping out. Instead of giving you your money's worth and providing you with the cartridge, overlay and booklet for anywhere from $30.00 - $50.00, they now give you a half-sized box with the cartridge and a mini-booklet. I had to buy it privately, because Cricut was out of them. You have to buy this separately, and try to figure out which buttons you want to push, to get the image you want. You also have to go online to download the booklet yourself (not a big deal, but the link they give you is a dead link, so I had to call, wait in the queue for 20 minutes, and figure out how to get to it on the Cricut website. While I'm intelligent enough to figure this all out, I feel that for the money they are getting for their cartridges, they shouldn't coerce the crafters of America to still pay full price, and then have to make do with a blank overlay.
It is the same quality as the regular overlays, but it just doesn't have the individual images, and you have to squint at the tiny illustration to figure out which one you want.
