Easy Way to Cut Fabric with a Silhouette Cameo 4!

I'm not gonna lie, this one took me a bit to figure out. I had an old Silhouette Cameo (that's still going strong, by the way) and upgrading to a new one was quite a learning curve.
After watching several videos and reading the manual, I finally figured out how to cut fabric using the rotary blade with my Silhouette Cameo 4. I wanted to make one easy to find video so you don't go through all the trouble that I went through so here it is!
Hopefully it helps but if you have any questions, let me know in the comments below!
Thanks for watching!

I have to cut a Celtic shamrock for 4 corners. Will this be distorted due to the cutting or removal from the mat? thank you for showing how to cut fabric - you saved me hours and lots of fabric not to mention frustration!!!

[@cuttingedgequilter]

If you are cutting on a bias or are worried about distortion, I would suggest ironing a thin layer of fusible web or interfacing to the back first.

Another trick to save your mat from getting fuzzy is to use a piece of removable vinyl on your mat upside down so your fabric sticks to the backside of the vinyl, and the front is stuck to the mat.

Great tip! Thanks for sharing!

Good

I am having a hard time finding the next video. I would like to see the progress of this project. Can you help me please?

[@cuttingedgequilter]

Thank you so much for watching!! I didn't make another video showing what I did with the fabric that I cut because I didn't get very much interest for it but I can definitely make a video for you if you'd like :)

[@EverydaySade]

Super helpful Video! Do you think it will be able to cut intricate designs on fabrics like Vinyl, PVC and PU leather?

[@cuttingedgequilter]

Yes, it will definitely cut all of that and more! You’ll just need the rotary blade because it makes a deeper cut than the regular one.
