Youve been very helpful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@musing_quest]

Wow, I didn’t know you could use the mats from the portrait 3 on the portrait 4 ❤. Going to try on mine and see. Thanks for all the info!

[@kristadraws]

Glad I could help! 💛

@@kristadraws really?? can we use??? :)

[@kristadraws]

@@mariandry76 yes! 👍 I use the ones from amazon - "Nicapa" and they work better than the original mat 😅

Hi, can you pelase tell how much time the autoblade last? Also, can I also do different depth cuts with manual blade by just changing the force settings? That will help me a lot Thanks.

[@kristadraws]

Hi! I haven't changed mine yet and it has been a bit more than 6 months, so maybe around one year? It probably also varies based on how much you use your machine. Either way I would still keep a spare just in case. 👍 And for the second part - yes, you can adjust both force & add multiple passes (that it cuts multiple times the same shape) and then you should be able to get away with manual blade for most things.

[@tech-focued]

​@@kristadrawsThanks for the quick reply. 🙂. Can I add multiple passes for a specific shape and is it easy? I have cricut machine and to do a multi pass, I need to draw that shape multiple times

[@kristadraws]

​@@tech-focued it's super easy in Silhouette Studio - it's right next to the boxes where you adjust force & speed (I talk about this a bit more in my holographic sticker video, because I used multiple passes for those) 👍

[@tech-focued]

@@kristadraws Amazing. I will watch that video. 👌

Do you have some tips for the machine to easily read the registration marks? Mine was having trouble reasing it.

[@kristadraws]

Hi! The main thing I have found is that Portrait actually reads the marks best without any harsh light, so I wouldn't recommend keeping it right next to a window or a bright lamp. Another thing I have done, is to go over the registration marks with a black marker and when I do lamination, I cut off corners, so it doesn't go over the marks. Hope that helps! 💛

@@kristadraws Can't wait to try it out. Thank you so much for your reply

Hi, How did transfer the file to your computer? Also is a pc or Mac?

[@kristadraws]

I have iCloud, so I just saved it to files (you can also use Google Drive, or send the file through email). I actually have both Mac & PC and I have used Silhouette Studio on both - it's the same process. 👍

This is so helpful. Thanks

Hello. 😊 In silhouette studio, how can I remove the cut line on a drawing in the sticker sheet that I don't want to be cut? For example, there are small hearts that only serve as a design in the background. Thank you very much.

[@kristadraws]

Hey! Merge the hearts with the background colour (in my case it was white) and then it shouldn’t draw the cut lines around the hearts, only the background itself 👍🏻 Let me know if it helps 💛
