Is Siser better than Cricut?
Cricut Iron-On is not quite as easy to use as Siser EasyWeed, so it’s not quite the best iron on vinyl. It is a little thicker, so it requires deeper cut settings and takes much longer to transfer. However, the Cricut brand is just as reliable as Siser, so you know you are always getting a product that will last.
