Yes I have it and anything I am going to cut out I layout in the Design Studio software. It lets you know the exact placement of what you are going to cut, which way it will be turned on the paper, how large it will be, etc. I waisted a lot of paper before buying the DS. Not to mention all of the wear on my blade and mat. In my opinion the DS is a must...I would invest in it even before buying another cartridge if I were you. DS lets you weld letters together from any of the font carts and you can weld items, shapes, letters, anything off of the carts--to make new items. These new images you create are called cut files and a lot of cricut owners share these online, just go to cricut.com and you will see a lot of people sharing their files. What you can do to see if you like it is go to the cricut web site and down load the free trial version. It will allow you to work with the carts that originally came with your machine, either George or Plantin Schoolbook and Accent Essentials. I did this for about a week and then I knew I had to buy it so I would be able to use it on all of my other carts. It is a very easy program to use but I recommend reading the instructions first---I didn't and about wanted to pull my hair out. After reading over the instructions it was a piece of cake. You will absolutely love it.
