\u003cp\u003eThe main difference between the Cricut Explore Air and the Explore Air 2 is the latter's ability to write and cut up to two times faster than the former. Otherwise, both have the same number of tools and materials they can cut. Anything that you can cut with the Cricut Explore Air, you can cut faster with the Explore Air 2.\u003c\/p\u003e

\u003ch3\u003eWhat Materials Can a Cricut Maker Cut?\u003c\/h3\u003e

\u003cp\u003eCutting fabric with the Cricut Explore requires some care. You should only use bonded materials in any of the Explore series machines. For example, if you cut polyester, felt wool, silk, oilcloth or denim, use a stabilizer to bond the material first. Bonding agents help hold the fabric in place and prevent it from stretching or moving during cutting. You'll find these products at your local craft or fabric store.\u003c\/p\u003e

\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tapemanblue.com\/products\/transfer-tape\"\u003eFinding Cricut materials is simple\u003c\/a\u003e. You can go online or look in craft stores. Plus, you don't have to use Cricut branded materials with the machine. As long as you don't exceed the values for the thickest material the Cricut Maker can cut, almost anything nonedible will work.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhile the Explore series does not have as many material options, it can still cut most types of paper, vinyl, fabric and iron-on vinyl. If you want to save money and get cheap Cricut materials, look in craft stores for scrap material or samples at discounts.\u003c\/p\u003e
