😍 How to Cut Fabric with Silhouette CAMEO Without a Rotary Blade

[@carolblaha7496]

yowzer... I ot a cameo 4 plus yesterday specifically to cut fabric. (Rotary blade coming today) but I worked 2 days trying to get this to cut. Your tip on switching to rachet blade made all the difference. Also your tip on cutting twice. THANK YOU

[@georgedjmatrix4229]

Ahhhh... " You told BoB that's where you messed up" , LOL ... Great job and overall spirit. Thank you for sharing.

[@ladypoppercakes]

Really good video after you got started with the actual instructions, you are a beautiful person.

[@Staysilentobsearve]

You greeting is so welcoming , great work and tips ? I just got my cameo 4 so I’m a learner , love ur vids

[@cmfnjaf0741]

She is the cutest thing, haha! So bubbly and chipper...I guess that's what a second cup of coffee will do, huh? 😁

[@anissad01]

Thank you for this video! You made this look so easy and now I'm not afraid!

[@lonnawatkins7129]

I am searching for a method to print on tissue paper with my Portrait 2. Have you any ideas?

[@kmg7708]

You're so cute - I love your video. You're instructions are clear and the demo's & props make it easy to follow what you're doing. I don't have a cutter or do this craft but would consider it just to learn from you! I'm going to check out more of your video's.

[@Rainbowbritekitten]

This is such a great tutorial! And you are adorable

[@Sariann16]

Seriously mind blown!! Purchasing the Terial Magic!! I designed several sewing patterns hoping to figure this out!!

[@MrSigitharimurti]

Very good presentation.

[@bernadettegaines1675]

Great video! 1) what cut settings did you use in Studio? 2) do you have a heat setting for the stabilizer bonding using your Easypress?

[@JohnScottFore]

You are adorable! I loved the "behind the scenes" at the end.

[@melissamerriman9027]

What brand heat press are you using?

[@Fancylooks]

I was interested in Terial Magic since I saw it at CHA videos and this is a great demo, thank you! The way it cut the tail is impressive. Does Terial Magic was off and maybe then the piece of cloth starts having frills when you don't use the heat and bond..lets say, if you make a flower?

[@SmittenKitten.]

Apologies for answering this so many years later, but I'm answering in case someone else wonders. Terial Magic does wash out, and the edges of the fabric will start to fray. However, even if you use something like Heat n Bond (or any kind of stabilizer/fusible), you'll still get fraying when you do raw-edge applique. Using a stabilizer will lessen that fraying, though. I'd suggest sewing around the edge of any applique to both secure it AND stop the fraying. If you can't sew, just be aware that the lifetime of the applique will be lessened. I'm a quilter far more than a Silhouette user, so fabric is my "thing." ;)

[@Fancylooks]

@@SmittenKitten. What an excellent answer, thank you. I never could buy Terial Magic because they don't sell it in Spain and because shipping costs from the USA are terribly expensive, I founda similar product here but haven't tried it jet. We all have many plans to make but a short time to be able to! I appreciate your concise and interesting explanation, it is never late when it is interesting!

[@SmittenKitten.]

@@Fancylooks Oh, wow! Well, thank you! This made my day! I totally understand about project ideas being made, then put away for "later," and "later" becomes years... Haha! Another note is that it's a good idea to prewash fabrics that will go on garments that will be washed. Cottons will shrink between 3-5%, which might not sound like a lot, but makes a huge difference when you're doing a small applique. If you don't want to prewash, spray the fabric with a light spritz of water, let it absorb into the fabric for a minute or so, then hit it with a hot iron (I hate prewashing, and just do this). If the brand you bought doesn't work the way you like, and you ever need someone to ship you some Terial Magic, I'd be more than willing! I hope you're having an amazing weekend!

[@Fancylooks]

@@SmittenKitten. The idea to substitute prewash is excellent, thank you, you are very good at explaining, did you consider to make videos yourself? I bet you have a lot of experience to share. Thank you for your offer about shipping Terial Magic, some years ago I asked a crafts shop I used to collaborate with if they could import it, but they were not interested because they said that in Spain nobody knows about that product so nobody would buy it, I offered to make videos in exchange to promote it but it didn't happen. Right now I am not making videos about crafts anymore, I had to switch to drawing because those videos work, craft videos got me poor results, so I am even having less time to make craft projects since I have to concentrate on drawing. This is a pity because I really would love to continue sharing crafts.

[@SmittenKitten.]

@@Fancylooks What a shame!! It's strange how the KZbin algorithm works (or doesn't work, in many cases) as I think people are probably more interested in crafting now more than ever due to the dire situation the world has been under (and continues to be under). I have considered making videos, but I'm unsure of SO MANY THINGS! I also have extreme camera-shyness! So that's a problem... Haha! I wish I could draw. I can copy pretty well, but I can't create from scratch. I have such an appreciation for people who are able to create things from their mind.

[@celestebutler2957]

You did a great job with everything, girl! Thank you!

[@mariamvelez9327]

Can you cut a XL dog bandanas with the cameo 4? But the tie or snap bandanas.

[@SilhouetteSchool]

Hey there! I am not quite sure what you're asking.

[@bethharvey5137]

Could you do this with felt?

[@jackiecronin3932]

I am new and totally enjoying your videos! And I am learning and taking notes.

[@pambjorlo7221]

Thanks so much for this great video. I just heard about Terial Magic last month but did not know how to use it. Now I do!! I have not used my Silhouette for fabric cutting, even though that was one of my thoughts when I got it. GREAT VIDEO!!

[@ladypoppercakes]

Well you were all over the place but you did a good video, Now i just have to find out more about the products you used.

[@Vixnn]

say what you really feel

[@debiduenkel8638]

You are so funny! Thanks for the tutorial :-)

[@jewelryinvegas]

I love your blouse and excellent job on the video! Thank you so much.

[@iwaobrown7971]

Can you please send me the link to the tutorial that you reference in this video about cutting a HTV border for your fabric cut design…Thank you

[@NJS7770]

Adorable video lol

[@amadagwerra697]

Love it! You are so humorous lol

[@reneemalone5931]

Do you have any videos on how to use the printable heat transfer vinyl? I’ve watched some videos but when you print the picture out and load it into the machine how does it know where to cut?

[@foof478]

What type of adhesive?

[@angelbell7735]

Great job I enjoy the video you are so funny and bubbly thank you so much for all of the advice have to check out these products

[@paigegarrison5376]

If I were you, I would not take the heat bond paper off and put it on the mat while cutting the fabric so that the adhesive is not sticking to the mat afterward. I just wondering if its possible to be done this way, after cutting is over, then peel the heat bond paper off last? Is there a reason why you have to remove the paper off? I would still like to know why. I am still researching about which cameo because I want to work around with fabric and leftover fabric as much I can. Big thanks if you have free time to reply. Much appreciated.

[@SilhouetteSchool]

The preferred method is to use a rotary blade in the CAMEO 4. then you don't need to use heat n bond at all.

[@colemyst]

I have an original cameo. Does that one cut fabric?

[@SilhouetteSchool]

Hi there! Unfortunately the original Cameo cannot use the rotary blade like this video.

[@bethharvey5137]

Do you think the terial magic would work on crafters felt? Trying to cut felt in my cameo 3 with no success.

[@purplemama81]

I have a question Do you have to spray that stuff on there? I want to put some fabric on a ornament and I won't be washing the fabric after. Could I put transfer paper on there to keep it stable? Also what heat press do you have and where did you get it?

[@3414blessed]

Thanks so much for this video. I know this is unrelated but how did you achieve your Haircolor? I’m trying to get to that shade but keep pulling too much brass

[@matrixman8960]

What is the cutter setting for fabric?

[@oliviamireles1591]

Thank you! This was great!

[@weekend_zen]

If I want the fabric to stay stiff after cutting should I still use the Terial Magic or would Elmer’s glue dilution be better? If I do stiffen with Elmer’s, is it safe with the silhouette?

[@mickeyolson5037]

Will this machine cut dolie type intricate cuts?

[@tinatingley6509]

Yes.

[@ujenajackson6874]

Your "okays" drive me crazy😳😨😱, but I definately needed the tutorial...thanks

[@stinana]

This would be me if I ever gave a tutorial, I hate any type of public speaking. 10 minute video would be 5 minutes of uhhhh, ummm, but like, okay and talking waaaay too fast.

[@BoojiePanda]

Where's the Studio settings in the video??

[@daniellecraft9561]

Is there a link to the video for the vinyl outline with fabric? I couldn’t find it.

[@amiehoskin8324]

you are so fun to watch

[@kellykreidermacher2272]

What if you wanted to put fabric on lettering how would you applie that to the wood letters so it sticks

[@jeroenroosen1052]

I have a difficulty on 4 wat stretch fabric for gymnastics leotards. Does it work like in this video? What stick materiaal do u sur on the back. Didn't get that

[@238Wock]

Can you cut sequins fabric with cameo 3?

[@robbinlynnspencer-buchtel6896]

How do I stop my mat from 'dancing' around (it moves around)?

[@martinharmse3109]

The grippers are probably worn out, or you havent locked the gripper into place properly. (the rubbers on the rolers that feeds your material)

[@robbinlynnspencer-buchtel6896]

@@martinharmse3109 It's a brand spanking new machine & no info on HOW to do the 'lock' part.

[@robbinlynnspencer-buchtel6896]

I'm on serious meds right now, everything is difficult.

[@martinharmse3109]

Sorry...as u feed the material into machine it should stop at the rollers, if it doesnt then you need to push the gripper leaver down , then press a button that will feed it automatically. its all in the manual, or easier yet google it....kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKDXf2SVqJ6bmas just click on the link...

[@vspartner]

Thank you. Great tutorial. Just ordered a Silhouette Fabric Blade. I checked the written tutorial out to find out what cut settings are needed (especially when adding to the thickness with Heat n Bond) on the Cameo 3; then realized maybe it isn't necessary when using the Silhouette Fabric Blade. Is this assumption correct? Anyone?

[@camgodchubbs]

Can you press the fabric with HeatnBond on top of Heat Transfer Vinyl?

[@queenEsther318]

No

[@joecoz26]

Is there another way besides a heat press?

[@japspj3590]

hi, it is possible if i do print and cut, no need to do offset?

[@lindi8872]

Great video! Very chipper! Made me laugh.

[@ronaldyerardi6670]

do you need the heat press or can you use an iron?

[@ladycharu5444]

Did you ever get an answer to this? Can you use the iron?

[@dancingtodepeche]

I am guessing that most people who sew don't have a heat press. Press n Bond is for people who sew. Most likely using an iron is no problem.

[@jlu48]

You can use an iron for the press n bond

[@denisehoegen4112]

Can you use an iron to dry the Terial spray... don’t have a heat press

[@MindSetReset]

Thank you so very, very much for this tutorial and the tips. God Bless :o)

[@eileenburkhardt4617]

I've watched this video repeatedly but am still having problems. I notice you cut your fabric much bigger than the zebra - is this because you can't determine where the Cameo will put the cut lines? My cameo seems to be getting the first cut right and subsequent cuts are an inch and a half down towards the bottom of the matt. Is that normal??? Also, had to replace my matt and new matt is super sticky - it is taking off all the heat and bond when I pull the backing off. Did I apply the heat and bond incorrectly?

[@queenEsther318]

You cut the fabric larger than what you need so it doesn't bunch up if the mat isn't sticky enough. If your mat is pulling off the heat n bond then it sounds like you need to iron it a bit longer. Hope this helps

[@crafty_capricorn]

Followed instructions, (yes I interfaced/stabilized) silhouette says “registration mark sensor error.” They are turned off in software. Ratchet blade selected and loaded. No media outside of cutting area. Seems like everyone focuses on the interfacing instead of the silhouette process itself. Four hours later and I’m still mystified at how anyone has gotten this to work.

[@lindaleaven6947]

Registration mark errors drive me nuts. Copy your image to a new file and try cutting from that file.

[@crafty_capricorn]

@@lindaleaven6947 Thanks for the suggestion! Even though this was forever ago, I was curious and dug out my silhouette to give it a try. Unfortunately that did not solve the problem. I even tried a basic square that was a preloaded design in silhouette studio. I also updated to the latest version, triple checked my loading, and nothing works. Still shows registration sensor error. So strange because I’ve done non registration mark designs many times with vinyl and other materials, my machine doesn’t seem to like fabric specifically. Thanks for the suggestion anyway!
