SCAL won't recognize my cricut

Post by bellasarah97 »

I have no clue where I've gone wrong. I've installed the driver, my computer dings when I plug it in letting me know something's been plugged in. Once I select my image and hit cut, it basically freezes on checking mat. I'm being patient, and it's been over 10 minutes. What should I do? Thanks, this is my first time using the program.

SCAL is no longer compatible with Cricut Cutters.

What Cricut cutter are you trying to use? if it is the Cricut Explore (the new one), you can make your image in SCAL, export/save it as a svg file, and then open the svg file into the Explore cutting machine.
