All Things Studio (Silhouette 101 Video Class)

[@keithandillard5133]

Unfortunately, I have to add to the list of reviews highlighting the nonexistent customer service or support. I purchased a Cameo 4 plus 7 months ago. The machine powered off during a cut and won't power back on. Every attempt at contacting support has been unsuccessful. This is a valuable lesson when selecting a new product. Product reviews are important, but more than that are reviews about customer service. Silhouette doesn't have bad customer service. THEY HAVE NONE!

[@LindaRogersTO]

This was the tutorial I was looking for. Honestly some of your other tutorials that appear to be for new owners of your machines are created without thinking about the total Silhouette beginner (for instance your getting started with Cameo 4 video lacks any help with loading material on the mat so I had to find that somewhere else) but this one was great. Maybe you could try for comprehensive videos of about 10 mins instead of 2 minute quickies that lack a lot of information or 1 hour videos that cover 5 or 6 topics :-). Just a thought from a longtime consumer of art/craft tutorials. It would also be great to turn a serious mixed media artist loose with the Silhouette to demo some projects because not all of us are aspiring to the "cutesy" but that's just a suggestion to show the range of applications. It's pretty easy to extrapolate how I might make an art pop up book from my own art from your pop up card video. Also congratulations on the software. Anyone familiar with Photoshop will find it pretty intuitive and I was surprised by how much I could do within the software.

[@CreateWithSilhouette]

This is great feedback to know! Thank you!

[@imsewnavy]

Same here! There are several things I can't figure out. How do I get the knife on the design board to work? Mine only draws a line that disappears as soon as I let go. I cannot figure out how to make it not do that. I need Silhouette for dummies

What transfer tape did you use? I’m kind of afraid to put transfer tape on paper and have it mess up. But yours did great.

[@KellyWayment]

This is the Silhouette transfer tape. www.silhouetteamerica.com/shop/TRANS-TAPE-12 If you are applying to paper, you can make the transfer tape less sticky before using it by dabbing it gently against some cloth. You still want it to be sticky enough to pick up the vinyl.

Thank you! The clear boxes are included in the whole Create Room Dreambox system.

[@dorisyoung9502]

Hello, great video Kelly, I always learn so much from your tutorials. I Had one issue when trying to make these cards my machine isn’t cutting the edges completely. It’s difficult to separate the card after it’s been cut any ideas on what I should?

[@KellyWayment]

I would check the cut before unloading the mat, and if it hasn't cut completely through I'd send it again for another pass. Next time you may want to slightly increase the blade depth by 1, or the force by 3-4 to see if the same media cuts better.

[@TT-de7wb]

Any assistance with my issue would be appreciated! The JPG file I'm bringing over from Etsy to make stickers is showing that the "page" is too big for the cut space on mat on the screen. The image is fine - but the "paper" is over lapping the mat on my screen. When I print it out it is fine, but the cameo won't print it. Any thoughts on how to resize the "paper" or image backing without distorting the size of the images on the "page?"

what kind of transfer tape do you use and where can I buy it form?

[@KellyWayment]

Silhouette sells transfer tape in their shop. My favorite is the Oratape. www.silhouetteamerica.com/shop/O12-TAPE If you prefer transfer tape with the printed grid, you can get that here. www.silhouetteamerica.com/shop/TRANS-TAPE-12

[@naten971]

Just tried using Oracal 651 Transfer tape with 651 vinyl and it didn't pick up the vinyl at all! What transfer tape is used in this video or what should I be using?

[@KellyWayment]

I used Silhouette transfer tape in this video. I also really like the Oratape sold by Silhouette, but that may be what you used. www.silhouetteamerica.com/shop/adhesive-vinyl/transfer-tape I find it helpful to peel the backing away from the vinyl while it's face down (shown in the video), and use a scraper tool to put pressure against it as you pull the backing away.

Hello...i just bought a brand new cameo 4 and i would like to design acetate box and cut it by silhouette studio. .however i have no idea how to do it... could u please help meon that? Thanks

[@KellyWayment]

You can cut acetate on your Silhouette Cameo 4, but acetate comes in many thicknesses. You can set it up to cut just like paper, but you'll need to adjust your cut settings based on its thickness. I recommend using thinner acetate rather than thick, and you will need to cut practice shapes at various blade thickness and force until you find the right setting for that material. Start low (like blade 3, force 30, speed 3) and then move up gradually as necessary.
