[@brysontoby3706]

@Alden Leo instablaster :)

[@aldenleo6649]

@Bryson Toby i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm trying it out atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@sherrycourtney6818]

[@Jaydawg1250]

This is so cool. I'm a new Studio user (like 2 days) and have done one or two images. I love this community in that the sharing is so free and awesome. Thank you for a wonderful video.

[@deannamulder]

Great video Bonnie. Thanks for showing how to do the knockout.

[@msw2386]

Great job and explanation

[@giftedhands9492]

I've seen very simple videos but this is the first that actually recomends duplicating an image. Thank you, I have hope to try with my new Cameo!

[@Expressionsvinyls]

We're glad it helped you!

[@melodybreland9509]

Very clear instructional. Thanks!

[@aaronsilva3102]

Great video step by step. Only two small details I noticed left out. How to select two different offsets and how to clean up the grey offset with the points. Keep videos like this coming. Subscriber👍

[@Expressionsvinyls]

Thank You for your feedback and for tuning in.

[@markloyd5082]

Great video - thanks so much.

[@magicdrummer411]

Been playing with this idea all day today, say a design online that used it so I played around with silhouette and learned this! I love it! Great design and tutorial. I plan on using this for an Always Prayin' with Jesus in it. Lol

[@Expressionsvinyls]

Let us know how it turns out!

[@gostyjose6823]

5:35 make me wanna watch that video over and over " I love it" lol

[@Expressionsvinyls]

Thanks

[@thinkingowl532]

really helpful. thank you

[@MyCraftyMind4U]

Tfs! Great process video

[@judyfox6653]

I have done a few knockouts in the past for my son's school with 3 layers no problem. But I am having trouble doing them now. Can you give me some ideas on what I maybe doing wrong now.

[@judithlittle3535]

That was great thank you.

[@gostyjose6823]

Hello, if you do knock out you cannot use vinyl on t shirt right? It will have to be sublimation?

[@Expressionsvinyls]

You can use the knockout method for a t-shirt. With this method you are essentially puzzling the pieces together to make them look like they are layered on top of one another.

[@JasmineSJuman]

THK u for sharing...how do u get the drag box option... I not finding it in my cameo 4 im a newbie

[@JasmineSJuman]

I'm a newbie

[@jonblakk73ab]

YOURE AWESOOOOOOOOOOOOME!!!! great vid

[@babyliguez]

I have the cameo silhouette, but I don’t have those fonts do you need to upgrade

[@Expressionsvinyls]

You can always download fonts. You do not need an upgraded version to download fonts.

[@GailWhimsy]

Love! Thank you!

[@gostyjose6823]

I think the basic edition cannot crop, i do it step by step never been able to crop.

[@Expressionsvinyls]

You need to have the objects selected in order to crop or subtract all. Both features are available with basic edition.

[@crumptonsall-sortsofstufff4412]

This was an awesome tutorial!

[@Expressionsvinyls]

Thank You!

[@MsMeditatingPanda]

Super helpful, thank you for posting this.

[@Expressionsvinyls]

We're glad it helped!

[@bawsepinckney]

Can this work with the silhouette cameo 4 business edition or did the tabs change

[@Expressionsvinyls]

This works with any silhouette machine, this is an older video so the tabs have changed a bit. On the right hand side click the 'modify' button. Select your two shapes and click 'subtract all' from the modify section

[@bawsepinckney]

Expressions Vinyl thank you so much for the reply.

[@lapkat4]

Please tell me how you did the select such as for the blue . Did you just right or left click or did you need to use the ctrl too?

[@Expressionsvinyls]

Hi Kathy, you just need to right click on it.

[@kashicharnelle8740]

Anyone else notice the black offset on the second P was messed up?

[@IEVLV8]

the comment i was looking for

[@_jennofalltrades_]

If I wanted to do multiple blankets like this one could I save the design print on transfer paper and press that way to save vinyl?

[@Expressionsvinyls]

You could do a print and cut image on printable heat transfer vinyl. That way it all prints out as one piece and you are not cutting the individual images each time. Otherwise you would need to do each different image. Here is a link to our printable heat transfer for you to try - expressionsvinyl.com/printable-vinyls/htv-printable/

[@monakelly7441]

Hi Did you cut each layer separate to get the different colors etc. Thanks!

[@Expressionsvinyls]

Hi Mona, yes each layer was cut separately to get this look. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

[@thesinglemale1]

I'm new to this and was kinda wondering the same thing, I have looked for how to do this but everyone seems to leave out the how to cut the different layers

[@kctsp6631]

Great video, but I got lost when you did the background offset, I'm new to the Cameo, thank you

[@Expressionsvinyls]

Thanks for tuning in. Here is another video that talks about how to do the offsets. Hopefully this helps. kzbin.info/www/bejne/anSlpGSil6yErJY

[@lizweaver7998]

Everytime I do a knockout my vinyl shrinks on the word layer and then the knockout doesn't line up. Any way to avoid this?

[@Expressionsvinyls]

Hi Liz, if you are doing knockouts or layering like this we recommend doing the first couple of layers for only a few seconds. That way you will prevent it from shrinking. By the time you get to the last layer the first ones will have the amount of heat and time needed to adhere. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

[@kikitinkerswithpaper2965]

Can you guys do another video on this, somethings were not clear and the camera was from a distance, so I couldn't see all the stuff she was touching in the side bars and stuff.

[@Expressionsvinyls]

Here is another video using the knockout method kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3XSe5WudpZ5e6s

[@jeanbethea4750]

Thank you

[@beckye9413]

do you have to flip the text for heat transfer?

[@Expressionsvinyls]

Hi Becky, yes, on the Siser Heat Transfer Vinyl that we carry you do flip the image since you are cutting on the back side of the vinyl. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

[@hoodboss4267]

Can I use this method for decal ? Thank you .

[@Expressionsvinyls]

Hi, yes, this is the same method you would use for Adhesive vinyl and a decal. For those, you just do not need to reverse or mirror the image. Hopefully that helps.

[@newdaycollege]

Hi I need help with my platform thickness so the blade won't cut through the transfer backing

[@Expressionsvinyls]

Hi Anita, we'd be happy to help. Which machine do you have and what type of vinyl are you cutting?

[@newdaycollege]

i have the Curio and im using the easy weed htv

[@Expressionsvinyls]

Hi, the settings for it, if you are using the correct platform are Speed 7, Thickness 5 and Blade 2. Hopefully this helps. expressionsvinyl.com/machine-setting.html

[@laurawilson4319]

How do you do this with the Cricut??

[@Expressionsvinyls]

Hi Laura, we have another one that you can watch here on how to do this with a Cricut. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZXbk3mXgspsbsk&list=PL3ghl46Qz0pTWkbCBbQfBloYaOfVHz090&index=19 Hopefully this helps.

[@nhawthorn4037]

How did you change your work space layout?

[@Expressionsvinyls]

Hi Nettra, this is a little bit older version of Silhouette Studio. It has changed since this one so that is why it looks a little different. Please let us know if there is anything additional we can assist you with.

[@panhandlepilot9363]

Can you please tell me about your heat press? Brand, model etc. Newbie to ALLLLLL this :)

[@Expressionsvinyls]

Here is a link to the heat press that we use. Hopefully this helps. expressionsvinyl.com/tools-accessories/heat-presses-and-pillows/

[@blist3274]

How do you select two different things

[@Expressionsvinyls]

You will click and drag around the two items to select them both.

[@blist3274]

Thank you

[@lilfamfto2897]

How do you select the two colors to duplicate

[@hoodboss4267]

Eric Garfield keep press the bottom that says shift

[@anitaramirez163]

Is. That a fleece blanket?

[@Expressionsvinyls]

Hi Anita, yes it is. It worked out great, didn't it. You will want to test the temperature though as some fleece will not withstand the heat needed.

[@sjdseano713]

How can I upload an image

[@Expressionsvinyls]

Here is a video on how to upload an image into Silhouette, kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKiUe3V6rrR6eqM

[@thegolfer2963]

I am putting a large Initial "M" with their name for a wedding gift. I want the name be cut into the "M"
