As a senior staff writer, Jackie Reeve covers mainly bedding and textiles. But she has been crafting for years, and she’s owned and used several models of Silhouette and Cricut machines. When she was an elementary school librarian, she used them to make bulletin-board cutouts, signs, holiday decorations, book displays, bookmarks, and vinyl decals to decorate whiteboards for the school. At home she made cardstock bunting, car decals, cards, party favors and decorations, T-shirts, costumes, and home-decoration projects. She reviewed cutting machines for seven years, more recently for Wirecutter and previously for the blog GeekMom.
