Handy Gypsy Info and Tips

I just found a number of great resources for the Gypsy!

Here is a link to a video interviewing two of the guys who design/work on the Gypsy for Provocraft with the top 10 questions about the Gypsy:

Here's a link to a video showing how to do "Hide Selected Contour" on the Gypsy.  This takes away lines that you don't want to cut (ex. the score marks on cards that show where to fold it can be unsightly and this would remove them):

Having trouble with the Gypsy recognizing certain cartridges?  Everytime I try and open the Car Decals cartridge on the Gypsy, I get shuttled back to the Welcome Screen.  Here's a way to fix that!  Check out this thread and go to Section 4 (Welcome Loop Screen):  Trouble Shooting Guide

Hope these help you!

  3. Thanks Joy. I actually just fixed my G last night. It was doing the same thing. I got my DH one and it is not letting her use the Smiley Cards. I am hoping that will fix her problem as well. Thanks again. Sandy C.

  11. Thank you for this sharing this video, I am not a cricut circle member and I can't access the blog, so this is very helpful to me. I also viewed some of the you tube tutorials and that has been very helpful for me. I still have so much to learn about my Gypsy.
