How many people are out there struggling with their CraftRobo's not the software the machine itself.
If you are, how would you feel about being adopted by someone more experienced and helped one on one?
Who reading this would be prepared to Adopt a Newbie and help them one on one?
We have foster mums in
Buckinghamshire
Cambridge
Essex
Fife
Kent
Southampton
Suffolk
If you are interested in starting a CR group.
I'll take someone Lucille
I'll take some as well, perhaps I should have said that :D thanks Tina
I'm happy to adopt too Lucille. :)
Happy to help If I can
Just a thought, but if possible it might be a good idea to try to match people who live near(ish) to each other. Sometimes it helps to have someone show you, instead of trying to explain in writing or over the phone???
I'll help someone with the basics.

That is a good idea, if it is workable I will try.Quote:

Shall I add you to the list of foster mum's.
Actually that leads to another thought, I wonder how difficult it would be to start up CraftRobo groups in area's, even if it is only a 3-4 people meeting once in a while at each other's house for coffee, cakes and good old chat about CRAFTROBO's not the neighbours goings on. :lol::lol:
.i would be really grateful someone in Essex is willing to hep me make use of my expensive dust collector please giggle.....
There you go I've made a start on groups already by editing my first post.
I am in Essex
I am in south Buckinghamshire.
Is there anyone in Fife willing to help? I've had my Robo for ages and never use it, when I did it was only to cut files other people had made so I'd appreciate some help. At the moment it just collects dust. :blink:
Any one in East Sussex, preferably close to Bexhill or Hastings, willing to help me?
Hi Lucille, I am scared to offer as I dont know that much technically, either about the machines or the software. Maybe we need to match adopters and adoptees by the software they use as well as I could probably help with robomaster but thats about all :(
I'm willing to help if I can, but not sure if I know enough about it to qualify. I'm Hull area. :)
They can get software help here, that is what the classes and the forum is for, but some people don't seem to know the difference between machine and software. People having machine problems we should be able to sort them using RM and some one on one advice.Quote:

Hi Anne I would say from what I've seen of your work you know how to work a CraftRobo so you should be able to do it. Like I said to Jenni if the reason they are not producing designs is because they can't use the software send them back here to the classes.Quote:

I'm in the Cleveland area if someone requires help with their machines, that is free.
Can help with software classes using RM, Inkscape, FontViewer and Gadwin PrintScreen, that is really all the software you need. Classes will cost but will only take a maximum of 4 people at any one time. Classes are not expensive and last 2 hours each time. A maximum of 10 hours is all you need for a really good whack at it. PM privately for details. Otherwise excellent tutorials are availabe here on UKS all of which are free. You will learn how to use the software, the image or cut out is immaterial for the tutorial, it's how you use the software that is the most important thing.
I do not do Design Master, I much prefer Inkscape, it is so easy to use.
I'm going to close this thread for the time being as some problems have come up, nothing serious.
In the meantime if anyone is still interested can you please PM or email me.
:thanks:
