SVG-File Compatible Personal Electronic Cutting Machines

Update: this page hasn't been updated in some time. It's been a little while since I've personally used the machines besides the Cricut Maker machine and the Sizzix eclips2. The other machines shown are quite popular, and for me to have a standing "review" of them seems unfair. The Janome Artistic Edge machine should also be added to the list. ~Mary Are you purchasing your first cutting machine or replacing your old one?
