Can you upload your own fonts and image from your PC to the cricut

No, you cannot upload your own fonts or designs. You must purchase Cricut cartridges, and are limited to what they contain.

I own the 550XL but the software should be the same: The machine will come with AutoPunch and HyperText; this software allows you to open other people's designs and create text from any font on your computer. Technically this software will allow you to load an image and convert it to a digital file but I've found this aspect of the software to be somewhat limited with anything but the most basic of objects but it'll get the job done. My machine did *not* come with PhotoStich which allows you to take a photo (like from a camera) and convert it to a digital file. Also not included will be the CrossStich, which will create digitized images in a series of X's instead of solid stitches or lines.

You can go on cricut craft and connect your machine to your laptop. U have to buy cord. They sell it anywhere. I used the machine like twice. I have two cartridges however the ink is fine. Never bought ink but there is hp ink compatible for machine.

No. You can modify Cricut's designs to a certain extent, but if you want to do your own designing, you should get a Silhouette Cameo machine, which comes with an amazingly powerful design software, plus the ability to purchase -- one at a time, if you like, instead of a whole cartridge -- beautiful, complex, sophisticated designs to cut as well. Once you get the hang of importing your own designs into the Silhouette, it's easy and great fun. You can download the software for free and check it out. The Cricut DesignStudio has been made obsolete by Cricut's online Cricut CraftRoom program, which is kind of a cross between an online, cloud-based cartridge collection, a Gypsy, and this DesignStudio, and it's free. Download it from the Cricut site and enjoy playing around with every design they have ever made, though you have to own and register the cartridge, or purchase the online-only designs, in order to be able to actually cut them. To actually use the program to cut with, you will have to attach your Cricut to your computer and put it through the "update" process, always a nail-biter, but my Cricut was purchased used and is probably five years old, and it updated with no problem. If you have a Gypsy you KNOW what a massive improvement this Craft Room program represents. I am not sure this DesignStudio program is being supported anymore.

No - it will not hook up directly to a computer. I just print out the image I am using and then run it through the stencil maker.

If it's in your computer you can print whatever you need to on it. I been doing greeting cards for the family on them for years and mine are always looked forward too because there not store bought. A lot of add on material is can be found under google images to enhance projects.

Before about August of 2013, Provo Craft sold each Cricut Cartridges with its own keyboard overlay. It's a rubber pad that's fits over the machine's keyboard. You're able to cut the images based upon the keys pressed. Now, the overlay is universal - meaning it will be used for all future cartridges. It's very simply numbered and the numbers correspond to the images in the booklet that you're able to cut.

You should be able to do that with the Sizzix Eclips plus the additional software you have to buy separately (unless you get a package that comes with it). I would suggest that you look into the Sillhouette Cameo though as I think that machine is geared even more toward what you want--it doesn't have the capabilty to use cartridges like the Eclips does, but it doesn't sound like you would use cartridges anyway--they have commercial artwork on them. It might depend on what file type your artwork is in; you'll want to check with the manufacturer to make sure the machine can do what you want it to do.

Yes, as long as you install a newer driver (can be found on the wacom site) on your computer

I think the flash card is for saving and loading designs into the machine.. so yes you can also just use your pc for general designs as well without having to use the flash card.. and it does applique but I haven't done that style..

If it's the disk/cd... No & return it! It's useless and doesn't do any more than CricutCraftroom.com does for free!!!!

No, the image may only be resized. To edit designs you would need embroidery software .

The software comes with lots of premade templates. However you can put your own way of putting your text. I don't know if you can use other software.
