Do I need a computer to use it?

No. You can scan, edit and cut entirely on the 5-inch touchscreen. A computer or phone is only needed if you want to design in CanvasWorkspace and send files wirelessly.

It cuts vinyl, heat-transfer material, cardstock, fabric, felt and foam up to 3mm thick. The Auto Blade sensor adjusts depth for each material.

How does it compare with a Cricut Maker?

The SDX125E has a built-in scanner, so it can cut around printed images without a separate camera or mat alignment. Cricut's software and accessory range are broader.

Does it come with materials?

It ships with a 12x12 cutting mat, blade holder, spatula, pen and pen holder, touch pen, a set of Oracal and Siser vinyl sheets, transfer tape, a scraper and a starter guide.

Can it cut fabric for quilting?

Yes. It includes 100 quilt patterns and can cut fabric with the standard blade on the included mat; a fabric-specific blade and mat are sold separately for cleaner results.

Yes. It connects to Wi-Fi so you can send cut files from CanvasWorkspace on a PC, tablet or phone.

What reviewers say

Owners rate the SDX125E highly for its scanner and self-adjusting blade, which remove the alignment guesswork of mat-and-camera rivals. Complaints center on the software, wireless setup and the learning curve for the blade settings.

What people mention
