Using SCAL to cut with an older Cricut Machine

SCAL vs. 2 was the last version of SCAL capable of cutting files with the Cricut Expression. If you have SCAL 3 or higher, you can prepare your files and take advantage of newer features and then still send your file to SCAL 2, to be cut with your Cricut Expression.

To do this, simply go through the steps you normally would to prepare and alter your files for cutting in SCAL 3 or higher. When you are finished do the following:

Open Sure Cuts a Lot 2
Go to File > Send To > Sure Cuts a Lot 2
Your design is transferred and should be ready to cut.
