Jeez that's so much faster than my cameo

[@SwiftCreekCustoms]

Yes. They are pretty zippy.

[@grfxdesigner0339]

Thank you for this video. Do you know if there is a way to do the easy peel stickers with Juliet yet?

[@SwiftCreekCustoms]

Do you mean kiss cut? Or do you mean like a pull tab? If you mean pull tab, you would just need to create that in the software.

[@Shommzy]

Hi there, love the videos so far. In the past ive been working on Summa cutters, and im planing to buy siser juliete for home use. Can you make your print and cut files manualy, like in adobe illustrator and just import them to the Leonardo or you must use Leonardo to create cut contours?

[@SwiftCreekCustoms]

Leonardo does create the cut contours when opening files.

[@MsScrapit]

EllyMae, your inspiration along with your excellent video’s inspired me to order my Juliette. I am so excited to have this awesome machine. I’m going to practice setting up a sticker design page following your video, I actually wrote notes on my lunch break last night. The Leonardo design software seems to be very user friendly to where I think we will get along just fine. Thank you for all you to in teaching us so much about the software and the machine. I have a question? What kind of vinyl would you recommend for wall quotes that can be removable.👍🏻

[@SwiftCreekCustoms]

I would recommend Oracal 631 for walls and remove carefully with a bit of heat if necessary, but Oracal 631 is typically recommended for walls.

[@MsScrapit]

@@SwiftCreekCustoms thank you. I was thinking 631 is there a difference? Fast response you are super women.

[@SwiftCreekCustoms]

@@MsScrapit I'm sorry, that should say 631.

[@dennislake8041]

hi, i have started with siser juliet. Can you tell me what kind of sticker paper you use in this video? also the brand that you use ?

[@SwiftCreekCustoms]

In the video description, I have linked the supplies I used. There are 3 brands there.

[@jeremybrady1384]

when i try to die and kiss cut as one job on the same sheet, my machine does the die cut and never does the kiss cut. All objects to be cut are configured correctly. Using v1.1.5. Thoughts?

[@SwiftCreekCustoms]

I would start over and make sure that each line is set up exactly the same as my video. You want to make sure a kiss cut has a different Cut Action than the Full Cut. Do not use the Fold/Crease option as it does not adjust properly. Then make sure that each action has different settings for force on the Send tab as I show in the video.

[@jeremybrady1384]

@@SwiftCreekCustoms Got all. I'll redo and try again tonight. Thank you for the quick response.

[@GB-xh7hv]

Only small thing that bugs me is that you can't just stick the mat in and hit send on the program. You have to manually set up the laser everytime to the bottom right?

[@SwiftCreekCustoms]

Yes. You have to set the blade starting point of origin each time. Here's an example where I cut 4 sticker pages at once with Romeo. You do have to line up the blade housing for each individual sticker sheet, but it takes seconds, and with the repeat option as well, it can be really quick to do. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3fOkJaQiLN_gposi=u3kftK0htch8XfkR Note: I did not use the repeat job in this video, but it is an option.

[@donnaohara8220]

my machine won't read the bottom right registration mark. I have it set to the default full page

[@SwiftCreekCustoms]

Are you moving the housing inside the bottom left registration mark as demonstrated at minute 14 in this video? kzbin.info/www/bejne/lX6te3mvd6uClbc

[@donnaohara8220]

well, I figured it out. But it cut totally off the mark. Back to the drawing board.

[@SwiftCreekCustoms]

@Donna O'Hara did you watch as it registered and did it find the corner of every single registration mark?

[@JMS-nj6di]

I don't understand why we use the rectangle die cut to do this?

[@SwiftCreekCustoms]

I used a rectangle because other users had been asking how to do it that way. They wanted a sticker sheet cut out completely, so that's what I showed.

[@dandee28]

could you help me out a bit? Im trying to die cut around my sticker sheet first, and it does cut through, but it does not start the kiss cutting process. Once the die cutting around my sticker sheets complete, itll end the process there. I chose cutting tool for the images inside my sticker sheet template, and perf cut for the die cut. Is there a way to have two settings, one for die cut and one for kiss cutting -- force and speed? okay So I figured out maybe whats wrong. The template of the sheet for the back ground I added, I cannot select the "stroke" option. Is there another way to have that diecut?

[@SwiftCreekCustoms]

Can you draw the shape you need in Leonardo Design Studio? You'll need to be able to select a line to change the action on it.

[@dandee28]

@@SwiftCreekCustoms basically I open another image which Is my sticker sheet template and then I drag my individual stickers into. Shoukd I be trying it another way?

[@SwiftCreekCustoms]

@@dandee28 have you tried setting the cut line setting up right after opening the cut template design part?

[@dandee28]

@@SwiftCreekCustoms nope I haven't tried that. I'll try it today after work! Could you make another video kiss cutting and diecutting templates pleaseee

[@SwiftCreekCustoms]

@@dandee28 can you explain more? Templates for what?

[@swtnnj]

I'm having the hardest time getting the offset color to be changed. I upload my image, then add an offset, I want the offset to be another color but it won't change even though I change the color on the layer. I am finding the software very frustrating. I love the cutting ability but the software is just not user friendly.

[@SwiftCreekCustoms]

When you create the offset, you can change it on the offset window. Are you changing it there as you add it?
