I have the Cricut air and Love it. Some tips I have learned: I have the delicate cutting mat and a fine blade and cut a variety of designs out of wafer paper to use for cookies. I only use this mat and blade for food items. For acetate, you can add your own material to the software based on the thickness of the acetate and I use a deep cut blade for mine. I use a 4 cut for the thick plastic like Julia's, but a 2 cut works on regular acetate.  Works great! Julia's stencils are actually on a thicker plastic than most other stencils you can buy, so are definitely worth the purchase, but it's great to be able to make custom ones at home ��

Thanks for the shout-out. Just to clarify: the stencils that I sell already laser-cut and ready-to-go ARE thick; they are 10 mil food-grade Mylar. However, the uncut sheets that are sold under the Accessories section of the new site (confectioncouturestencils.com) are actually made of thinner 4 mil Mylar so they can be more easily hand-cut.
