Siser Juliet Digital Cutting Machine
Q&A
Materials that can be cut are limited by the 45- and 60-degree blades that come as standard with the machine and that have a maximum clearance of 1mm. Certain materials may need to be cut with a high or low tack cutting mat using varying blade depths or with multiple passes.
The list of suitable materials include:
- All Siser heat transfer vinyl
- Stripflock, brick 600 and 1000*
- Other manufacturer’s heat transfer vinyl
- Pressure sensitive vinyl, sticky backed for decals and signs, etc.
- Cardstock
- Glitter cardstock
- Chipboard up to 0.8mm*
- Vellum
- Sticker paper
- Acetate sheets
- Mylar
- Shrink plastic*
- Craft foam*
- Magnetic sheet*
- Bonded fabric*
- Bonded felt*
- Stiff felt*
- Wood veneer up to 0.4mm*
- Leather up to 0.4mm*
* We recommend using the 60’ blade for these materials and for more complex designs.

Faulty Machine
Frustratingly the start and finish nodes of a shape are appalling.
Its a shame as the machine is fast, quiet and accurate.
This isn't a calibration issue as the cut is perfect but due to the start and finish joins not always joining it prevents a shape from cutting well. It will leave a small gap, create a overlapping cut or slice a few mm into the shape.
I spoke to Siser who confirmed they are aware of the issue but not any help sadly. I spoke to somebody in my local Hobby Craft store who were extremely helpful and said to return it for a replacement which I will be soon. I will return it soon but its very heavy so need some help.
For a £520 cutting machine I expected better. This review isn't a reflection of Hobby Craft but the cutting machine and lack of Siser help.

1 Year Review by Stickiply
Hello! Thomas from Stickiply here. I guess since I send so many people here to upgrade their cricuts I best leave a review. I've had my Juliet since November 2023 so nearly a year now and it has absolutely revolutionised my business. There was no way on earth we were going to hit any profit targets with the slow and mistake ridden cricut explore 3 we had.
Juliet is fast.
She's around 6 x faster than Explore 3. Cuts a full sheet of stickers in 45 seconds. Reads reg lines in less than 10. Can cut any material without a mat, of any length, whether print then cut or just vinyl.
Juliet is accurate.
She's so accurate in fact that I make 1 mistake within 1000 or more stickers. If theres an issue, it's a solvable and tangible one from the real world. Printer issue, mat issue, user error etc.
Juliet reads any material.
Trouble will reading your print then cut through glossy laminate, holographic laminate and other materials. Yeah, Juliet doesnt have those issues. High def camera system.
Juliet is a Semi-Professional Machine.
She's not a craft cutter, she's a professionals side kick. She's made for vinyl and print then cut. Yes maybe other bells and whistles will be added in the future but she's a sticker and vinyl cutter through and through.
Juliet is easy to use.
Yes, Leonardo design space takes some getting use to especially if you're new to cutting. Tutorials are far and few between compared to cricut. But If you're looking for help we (@stickiply) will always give you a hand.
Does Juliet have any issues?
Yes, Juliet still has a single issue. The pressure she exerts onto cutting mats eventually with enough use bends the mat and causes kiss-cuts to be too deep or shallow. Can this be fixed, Yes. Simply removing 1 spring from each roller and placing the other diagonal. Had mine like this for nearly a year, had no further issues.
Overall, 5/5. Absolutely changed our business and allowed for massive growth. Come watch us live daily @stickiply on tiktok if you need more info!

brilliant machine
brilliant machine, the cuts on vinyl are very precise and detailed, it takes a while to get used to doing test cuts and getting used to the software but it's amazing machine

An absolute must for print and cut projects.
Beautifully sleek machine, so very fast and accurate. This machine is a must have for print and cut projects and it can cut vinyl without the need for a mat. Its set up if completely different to cricut so there is a learning curve but it didn't take me long to get used to it.

Style AND Substance!
I got one of these over 3 months ago. I have used many cutters, the usual brands, pro cutters etc. This cutter is fast, accurate has a great print and cut allowing you to use much more of the page, it's quiet and it looks good. Be prepared to learn new software. Use WiFi to send your files, you can import images to trace, or SVGs.

Stunning product.
Stunning product. Really easy to use for a beginner. My only gripe is the software (Leonardo) keeps crashing. Hopefully this can be fixed with an update.

I’m so happy I chose the Siser!
I am absolutely in love with my Siser Juliet! I’m so impressed with how quickly and accurately it cuts out my stickers and vinyl. The software is super easy to use too. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for accuracy and speed.
