I've been using silhouette software for a long time, but didn't realize it had these capabilities. Thanks. Can't wait to learn more.

[@EVILxHEMI]

Fantastic video! Even 2 years later, this was so helpful to me! I had a basic understanding of what a knife tool does but I had no idea how versatile it was! The more I use Design Studio, the better I like it. Thank you for the awesome tutorial!

[@Artmuse2011]

You are one of the best SS, tutors online. Your tutorials, are clear concise and along with your vocal tone you are an effective teacher. plus you are always so cheerful. Thank you!

[@DesignBundles]

Thank you so much for the kind words! :)

[@joybidwell9487]

Oh goodness. I never thought to use my knife tool on a font and sometimes I spend hours looking for letters that work like I want it to. Game changer. I’ve had my silhouette for a few years yet....you teach me something new every time I watch you (which is often). Thank you so much!!!

[@DesignBundles]

You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed this video and learned something new! :)

[@KevinGoosie]

Too bad some of the font designers don't think about using them as a stencil and provide that as an option. I guess if you purchase the font, you could always take the time and use a font maker/editor and permanently make a stencil font file from the original.

[@becky2u2]

Another great tutorial. Thanks Becky

[@DesignBundles]

Happy to help! 😊 Thanks for watching!

[@KayleneLarsen]

I was just complaining tonight that I needed to cut something off my design and couldn't figure it out. Thanks!

I never noticed the Solid vs Outline options much less the decorative edges! Once again, you've blown my mind!

[@YooperGranny]

Thank you for this helpful video. I was not aware of the options for this tool.

[@carriewaddle8200]

This was fantastic Becky! I tried to use the knife tool in the past but I didn't quite know how to get to work the way I wanted. Thanks so much for your tutorial 😊

[@PsychoPuff-0213]

Oh I learned so much from this video!!

[@mm0901]

Hi Becky, this was so helpful! I’m hoping you can help me. I am soooo frustrated trying to figure out something in Silhouette Studio Business Edition. I’m fairly new to all this and I can’t seem to find the answer online. So, I’m trying to cut feather earrings out of wood on my Glowforge. The feather SVG I’m using is the perfect shape and I haven’t found anything better, but it has a line down the center (the quill part) that is open to the end , which would not allow me to put the earring hole at the top of the earring. I need to close the end of the line, essentially close off and fill in a portion of the top of the earring (but keep part of the line so it still has the quill part of the feather. Then it needs to become all one shape to be able to cut. I don’t know if I’m explaining this right but if you get what I’m saying can you please tell me how I can achieve this? I spent 3 hours last night trying to figure it out and I would get it to look right but then when I put it into Glowforge it showed all my modifications as cut lines. Ugh. Any advice or info would be greatly appreciated and thanks for your time! (I’m a Design Bundles user by the way, have gotten so many beautiful files there!👏🏻👏🏻)

[@staceydickinson9393]

Thank you much for these tips and tricks. So very helpful ☺

[@OG_Beckie_Leigh]

Oh wow! I wish I’d seen this video before I spent a large chunk of time trying to add a swirl to a letter that didn’t have a glif. I finally got it made, but these skills would have made life so much easier. Thank you SO much for this tutorial! I’ve already saved it to my reference playlist, and I know I’ll be watching it again many times.

[@DesignBundles]

I'm so glad we can help! :)

Everything I was lacking in the use of Mr. Cutter ! Thanks !

[@angelaschmidt1175]

You did it again! Did a video just as I was needing to or just beginning to learn a Studio tool or sublimation technique! I watched this video on my TV just hours after it came out! Just hours before the video came out, I was really figuring out WHY I needed to learn the knife. I had bought a design from Design Bundles and needed to separate out the Dachshund graphics! :) I finally decided knife tool might be the best way in Studio, didn't want to deal with PhotoShop 9 first! I love that you showed more knife tips that it would have taken me forever to notice! The tip to make a font (or shape) a STENCIL font, THANK you! I actually had downloaded some stencil fonts because I wanted to change up a word shape I had to make it a stencil so it would be EASIER to use the negative part on another shirt. When I'm using thicker HTV like flock HTV, glitter HTV or Holographic HTV, I like to weed it so that I can use the negative and if I "stencil" it, I don't have to kill myself NOT losing the insides of letters! I don't know if you remember me but you know me from the CC FB group. And it is all your fault I went from I'd like to do sublimation some day to getting an EPSON ET-2720 printer for Christmas! :) Oh, and now I have to go on Design Bundles to find those penguins! I adore penguins! Only problem, got to figure out WHY sometimes it doesn't cut all the way across, like in a lower case "e". It leaves an unbroken part on the "inside" part of the e...

[@DesignBundles]

Hey Angela! Of course I remember you!! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and I definitely tried to include some "out of the box" ways to use it. Sublimation is fantastic and I hope you are enjoying all the amazing things it can do! Thanks for watching! ---Becky

[@o0oTyPow]

is the knife tool the same as the Kraft tool? I can't find a knife tool. I'm new to the cameo 4. Just got it the other day!! These videos are the best!

[@DesignBundles]

The Knife tool is a tool inside Silhouette where as the Kraft Blade is blade for the Silhouette.

[@donnadalton5861]

Does the knife not work at all without the upgrades? Mine does sometimes and won't sometimes. It just looks like it erases instead of actually slicing anything.

[@mandyshoemaker8278]

Mine isn't cutting?!? It is just drawing a line on the image or just the square I added.. I have business additions also. Edit... auto apply has to be on for it to work.

[@DesignBundles]

been there done that we you go to cut make sure on the top left its set to cut

[@MrDianasprenger]

I have a question. Is it possible to open the auto adjustable soport of the knife and change only the knife?

[@DesignBundles]

Hi there! Are you looking to adjust the blade itself or the settings?

[@KateGlenn]

I can't get my knife tool to cut in the font always skipping to a guideline point? How do I fix this?

[@leighshell1784]

Becky, I (and I'm sure others) need to know how to "slice" an XL design to be able to send-to-print TWO (or more) HALVES for the purpose of sublimation. Can you help? Or, is there already a video I missed on it? Thanks so much.

Maybe you can help with this. I have a crosshairs inside of my pointer and if I am not careful when moving something, a red line appears and follows the move. I looked at the crosshairs and that's not selected. It is also micro sized, not like your crosshairs which are huge.

I really need help..I'm having trouble with the knife tool..I click on the knife tool and drag it across the design and nothing happens..I think I must have clicked on something that I shouldn't have..any help would be appreciated..thank you

[@xandra-6695]

I have the designer edition. I can make lines with the knife. However, they stay lines and there no individual pieces that can be separated. Am I missing a step or do I need to select something somewhere in preferences?

[@DesignBundles]

You'll want to make sure you are cutting all the way through and no pieces are still touching or they will not come apart. - Brittany

[@janetmenchyk9778]

Can you help me? I have a design like two C’s intersect with a space between but they have no lines where they intersect I tried welding a line (a curved line) but they would not weld, I’m sure it possible but I don’t know silhouette that well. Can you suggest a way?

is there a way to turn a cut file into a print and cut

Hi Dianna! Yes, you can convert an SVG to a PNG file. Which design program are you using? If you have the designer edition of Silhouette Studio, you can save your file as a PNG!- Dawn

Hi there! Would you mind providing a little more detail about what's happening? Is it just not cutting through your material? Perhaps you can increase the pressure? - Dawn 🙂
