How to Use a Roll Feeder with a Silhouette Cameo

[@demiro05]

The Silhouette video never mentioned changing the position of the feeder on the Silhouette itself and I nearly wasted a bunch of vinyl. THANK YOU so much for this tutorial.

Thank you for this! I would like to see more seemingly “obvious” tips like this. I am fairly new and appreciate all of these things!

Thanks for this tutorial, what if the vinyl doesn't come with a roll inside, is just vinyl, do you think it will fit?

Thank you queen

I have a roll feeder and have yet to use it, other than for cutting vinyl, haha. My question is, does the vinyl HAVE to be on a cardboard roll? That's the only reason I've yet to use it with my Cameo. I don't want to waste my vinyl because I haven"t bought any in enough bulk for it to be shipped to me on a roll.

Hi - thanks for the overview - How does the roll feeder handle the reverse feed of the vinyl; For example, when it reverses the vinyl backwards (as it often does with looong designs), does the vinyl roll back up neatly, or spool and bunch up?

[@scFUNpi]

It does GREAT with long designs!

[@savagekitten]

Thanks, looks like I'll be adding one to my shopping basket :)

savagekitten1 did You buy it already? If not, don’t. It handles the reverse feed as a noob, it does NOT back up neatly, all it does is bunch up. So why they said it does great with long desgin is very confusing to me...

[@savagekitten]

Thanks for the feedback; I've not gone for it yet, so sounds like I was wise not to - I make do with a bit of a home-grown solution and accept I just need to keep an eye on it :)

[@scFUNpi]

Variety Vidz - maybe you're experiencing user error. I've never had an issue while using the roll feeder...

[@ArnoldJohnsonWhiteDoveRelease]

Great thank you .. for sharing your advice..

This works great for large long vinyls, but does it work great for a lot of small individual orders (like 3" x 6" segments)? I don't want waste time using a mat and sheets.

I recently bought a roll feeder but everytime i try to use it my vinyl goes all over the place. I have a hard time getting it to cut straight. Any suggestions? ive tried moving those little knobs but it still hasnt helped. Do you have any other suggestions?

[@MrluisV3000]

Thanks for this I’ve been waiting to set mine up thinking it was gonna be hard or something lol.

THANKS! Question- does the roll feeder eliminate the need for a mat? I'm new to cameo and I'm not sure why the mat is needed..... thanks!

[@scFUNpi]

Yes exactly! You would not need a mat if you are using a roll feeder :)

hello boss , silhouette cameo 2 have bluetooth ?

[@MS-iw5hk]

I think I'll have to bite the bullet and try it. Been combing the fb groups for info lol.

[@amyreed4357]

When I use the feeder with my htv the vinyl gets caught in between the feeders on the cameo???

[@scFUNpi]

Hello Amy! Do you mean the rollers? Are you a member of our Facebook group? If not - join Silhouette Cameo FUN Project Inspiration Group! Search for Shannon Le under admins, and send me a message. We can talk more from there and it will be easier if you could send me a video clip of what you mean :)
