I learned more from binge watching you in one day than anyone!

[@mr00ks]

Ok you get 1000 gold stars for this video. I bought the silhouette and the whole setup for my Wife to make T-Shirts and Sticker, tables and computer but I am the one that hast to do everything for her. it's like putting Kryptonite to Superman to get her to learn any of this so this help me alot. Thanks

[@xombiesque]

Not sure why my brain thought multi layering would be so difficult. The calm speed of your speech, and attention to detail during your explanation made my journey so easy!!! Well done, Sallie!

[@larrywilliams9290]

Just ran across this vid and it's simply awesome...I have been in the commercial sign and screen printing business for 25 yrs and you have just simplified a layering process that has plaqued me and my business for years when it comes to the small, detail oriented layout of vinyl signage. Thanks so much!

[@ananambo4133]

I have had so much trouble understanding how to layer the colors and registration marks. I have had my cameo for 3 years and never had the nerve to do it until now. Thank you for such a clear explanation! I shall try tomorrow. You are a blessing.

[@nahrenarenella]

I love how you explain everything in detail. You have taught me so much! God bless you!❤

[@bydeyanirapaz]

Registration marks looks totally easier to me and made me feel I’m ready to try this🙏🏽 🥰♥️

[@michellecook4864]

I love how you are so detailed explaining the steps of how to do this. I’ve been doing this so wrong. Thank you!! Thank you!!

[@deannalupo6587]

I have seen videos explaining the registration marks but never quite understood it until this video. Thank you!

[@littlebit11124]

Wish I would've seen this a few rolls of vinyl ago!! Thank you for the intricate explanation!! It was def a 💡 moment for me! I'm excited to try now bc I was about to throw my cricut machine right out the damn door! 🤭

[@kennethbruns]

You just took away a lot of anxiety I had about buying a machine and doing vinyl thank you so much.

[@joyfulbyanna]

I love how informative this is! I’ve learned Silhouette little by little through trial and error but this was amazing!

[@pekwalker]

Thank you for sharing this. I have just purchased my vinyl cutter and am learning how to do this kind of thing. I think I would be most comfortable with the registration mark method.

[@SimplySallie]

I love the registration method! Only drawbacks that I feel are how much vinyl you use because of the registration marks, especially with the lower parts of the decal. I think the parchmwnt paper method would be best for large decals so you don't end up with as much waste. Good luck in your vinyl journey! 😊

[@simplyme549]

Hi Sallie...Thank you so much....I have watched so many videos on using the registration boxes for multiple colors...no one went into the steps the way you did...I'm new to cameo 4 you just have a way of explaining things....I was up til 4 o'clock in the morning trying to grasp the boxes and all that....still didn't get it having trouble centering and grouping the boxes...got back on next day still couldn't do the boxes you way...(BTW seems to be simpler and faster)...not sure why I couldn't get it...I will try later...but good news I did do a 2 color layer shirt 2 of them for my grandsons....I also messed up some vinyl my fault...but in the end I'm happy...my goal was accomplished but will still try to figure your way out....again thank you for all your help...i have subscribed to your channel you go above and beyond to help your viewers and customers....have a blessed day Sallie!!!!

[@MissTMM5042]

Thank you so much, I’ve been watching countless videos on this and you are the only person who explains it perfectly, you are a godsend x

[@SimplySallie]

Thank you SO much!!

[@maggie9256]

I agree. Sallie explained this so clearly. Thank you.

[@selenaharrington6040]

I am a newbie so I'll be trying both! Thank you so much!!!

[@wendp1818]

Thank you Jesus for somebody that explains it all so well. Cannot wait to have a go of layering now. The whole group and ungroup think was just escaping me 😁😁👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️

[@crazydudetz]

Thanks for the video. The registration marks method was really creative. Going to try it.

[@estellaalvarez5897]

I LOVED both, but as a newbie I will definitely start off with the registration mark method first then work my way to eyeballing it

[@sophielafleche3803]

Fantastic video - you made this seem doable!

[@lesliehulce8842]

Used this for first time amd it worked awesome on silhouette!! Registration marks

[@geniaginevan6376]

Parchment. But both I will have to try. Thank you. I am just getting started. Kinda scared but here I go. Thank you for your awesome videos.

[@ponderosalr6234]

I like the parchment paper method. Thank you!

[@fourolives142]

That was a very informative video. I loved how you showed every step of the process. Multicolor vinyl doesn’t look so intimidating anymore. Thank you!!!

[@SimplySallie]

I'm so happy it helped! 🥰

[@RAstridD]

The registration mark seem to be a lot more easier. Thank you so much for this helpful video

[@rochelle..]

I think the registration marks I would use for a complex nit picky design - simple designs parchment looks the way to go for sure! - thanks for the excellent tutorial ♥️

[@missychase627]

Yay! First time seeing how to do these. I can’t wait to try this. I have to place a vinyl order. I only have stencil vinyl. Thank you!!!

[@FlyValorantFly]

Good luck mate.

[@garygrainger978]

Excellent video, Now I understand how its done, Thank you.

[@susanarcher9591]

Simply Sally you are a genius! So much to learn from you! Thank you for your videos 💕

[@starrlite21]

Thank you for this tutorial. I will be trying them both to see which one I like best. I am thinking for a beginner like me, the one where you lined up the marks would be best.

[@stacianspencer6972]

Thanks for saving me!!! This was amazing!

[@olga_sauceda]

Hi Sallie!, Thank you for another awesome video. It really helped me understand layering vinyl designs. I have always had a Cricut but your videos convinced me to try a Silhouette! I really love it but it can be intimidating at times especially because I am so used to the Cricut software. I still enjoy the Cricut but find the Silhouette store to have much more on trend designs. Believe me when I say that your videos keep me inspired! Anyway I hope you and your family are well and that your craft room is coming along well! 😊💜🌻

[@SimplySallie]

Thank you so much, I appreciate all of your support!! I honestly love my silhouette. You won't regret it. You can do so much more with it than cricut. 😊

[@MsNailgun]

That was freaking amazing. Thank you so much!!!!!!!

[@planetmaxwell]

Great tutorial, thank you!

[@nahnisjourney1406]

I really like the parchment paper better because you can see through it where the image will lay. But for larger projects, I think the registration marks will work better because I don’t think I would have a large enough piece of parchment paper for projects like banners or wall signage. Or am I wrong about the size availability of the parchment paper?

[@debbymccormack6525]

You're such an inspiration and a great teacher too! Just an FYI, it's called burnishing, not vanishing:)

[@roseannesaunderson2639]

So when you completely finish the decal what kind of white paper or what do you stick it to. Is it parchment paper

[@sydentirely1484]

This is what I'm trying to figure out. Did you ever find any answers?

[@Sooz3112]

I use the registration marks method. Both are great techniques though x

[@jackieturner3033]

Love your video. Thank you for no annoying into music!

[@elisabethmccormick9527]

This video was very helpful for me

[@iCKEST]

You saved me so much time with this method! Lol you are awesome!

[@MrBlankscole]

How does the customer actually stick the vinyl decal? What is the very last step? On the first decal when you finally pull off the final piece - you re-stick it to something else. What is it that you re-stick it to? Is there any issues ever applying the decals after sticking it to that backing paper? Like does any of the adhesive remove from the vinyl by doing that? I understand the process of making multi-coloured decals for myself - I can just never figure out how to actually get it to a customer in a way that they can apply

[@Ramellosugahill]

Great video very informative

[@KellyBrown-jg1jz]

Do you keep your thank you mail decal saved with registration Mark's and grouped separately so you can print over and over? Great video honey!

[@justseamsrightlindawoodsbr2914]

I think I like the registration method.

[@jaclynkolhoff4380]

What kind of backing do you put the decal on when you take it off the original backing?

[@longlashful]

Great video. Thumbs up, does anyone know why my vynl shifted when cutting. Could it be the mat itself? 😔

[@lorifisher245]

Great job with the explanation!

[@stephaniepowley2385]

I am new to the cameo and have a question. When you put the vinyl in the corners how does the machine know where to go?

[@gregflores8557]

What is that roller and what is it for? This is a good video

[@lyndasarver7461]

Where can I purchase the Sunflower Vine Border for monogram? Great video! Thank you!

[@traceyjones6220]

Very helpful video. Thank you

[@tinaporta7247]

This is awesome. how do you do this with a cricut?

[@tracyishealing911]

Question: will multi layers hold together well on a car window? Through rain, washes, etc. thank you!

[@soraidazavala]

Did you ever find out if it holds up good? I have someone interested and Im afraid it wont hold

[@LaurenReynolds14]

I would have thought to cut by fill color and cut each color at a time. Do you do it this way so you can cut all of the pieces in one “send” and not have to reload the mat for each color?

[@digitaldazzle5836]

What a lovely voice.

[@caroleanderson1106]

Wow! Super cool!

[@arianacordova8892]

hi sallie I love your videos , how much do you charge for that sunflower monogram the one you’re doing in this video ?

[@SimplySallie]

Thank you! I charge $2.50 more than the number in inches. So for this 5 inch one, $7.50.

[@eclecticlight.design]

Thanks for the video! What song is at 21:38? I keep finding very weird versions when I search for it lol

[@michelleleal4464]

Binge watching your videos! New subbie here. 🖖🙃

[@SimplySallie]

Thank you so much!!

[@nahnisjourney1406]

So do I!!!

[@primarycoloredsoul]

Could I use transfer tape with registration marks for a multicolor/multilayer teeshirt design that is made from HTV?

[@Legacy4magic]

Can you tell me the settings you use for cutting your vinyl on the silhouette. I can't seem to make it work well

[@lisahurst8565]

So helpful! Thank you!

[@rhecgoonsquad2379]

So would this work the same way on the cricut as well?

[@technodrone7723]

I wonder if I can do this on my gcc expert II xl? Is it the software that lets it know to cut on specific points on the mat? Normally I would just put a full piece of vinyl in for each color and cut it separately

[@creationsbycrys]

Omg. Was that a dental tool you were using to weeed. Was just curious that’s hilarious cause I did the same thing. I said ya know what my dental tools like just like these wedding tools and used them a few times now hahah

[@davidmeyer9204]

A little late to the party, Thank You!

[@yamahar8wme]

Omg this is so helpful

[@KatrinaSherokee]

I love silhouette studio 😩 I switched to cricut because I work from my iPad. And the cricut design space isn’t as advanced as silhouette studio.

[@nahnisjourney1406]

Hello. I’m trying to switch over to Silhouette Studio because of the size restraints and not being able to cut without a mat with my CRICUT Explorer Air 2. I use a laptop. I love the CRICUT because that’s what I started with. So I’m still learning so much about Silhouette Studio. The Cameo 4 is quite noisy. So noisy that if you didn’t know it was normal, you would think there was a problem with the Cameo 4. I bought it off Facebook Marketplace because the lady couldn’t deal with the noise it made. She went back to her CRICUT Explorer Air 2. I guess there’s some give and take with both cutters. Two years later, how are you doing with your cutters? Are you still working from your tablet? Donna

[@jilliej7]

Where did you get your design? Looked on Etsy.

[@e2msandnaxu2]

I absolutely love the thank you mail truck! Is it your design?

[@SimplySallie]

Hi! Nope I purchased this on etsy😊

[@jmeyer24]

Hi Sallie! First of all, I LOVE your videos. I have a question- So, I am making a thank you card and I would like to use a logo I already have but I can only see the border of the logo and I want it to be filled inside. Do you know what I meant? What can I do? ( I have a Cricut, machine but maybe it's the same procedure).

[@SimplySallie]

Thank you so much! Are you referring to tracing a logo to cut, and it"s not highlighting the logo, just the outline?

[@jmeyer24]

Simply Sallie Yes

[@ryanclark8302]

Can this be done without silhouette software ?

[@TracilynnNewton]

Does the transfer tape pick up your fingerprints? I have had that issue on other transfer tapes and I don't think it looks very professional.

[@SimplySallie]

I believe any tape can, but I never had issues with it on this one!

[@nahnisjourney1406]

@@SimplySallie. Would this be a problem for him/her if the hands were washed clean and dry?

[@paulettereid9894]

Thank you for this video Sallie! How does this work on a Mac, do you know? Love the parchment paper more.

[@SimplySallie]

I am honestly not sure about mac. I know silhoutte is compatible with Mac, as well as svg files so it will be very similar! Thank you for watching!

[@alexandralaroche8201]

Hey Sallie, I love your content and creations! What type of transfer tape do you recommend?

[@SimplySallie]

Rtape clear choice at65 😊

[@rileybonnstetter6400]

Can you link what you use to ship the decals in?

[@jdmtake1]

How do you get rid of the white page that way I can see the white colors

[@NonnaBethsCrafts2Be]

thank you for sharing

[@carollaflamme1477]

Sallie I am new to silhouette I tried to follow your directions with the registration squares, I get that far and I get confused with the color part please help

[@nahnisjourney1406]

Did you ever get the registration colors figured out? Her video made all the difference for me. Group one set of registration marks with each like color. All the reds group together. All the blacks together. All the greens together… and so on including the corresponding registration marks. Be sure to align all the grouped parts on the screen The marks will cut with each piece of your project. Line up the registration marks perfectly when applying to the transfer tape. Then burnish each part starting from the very top part… to the very bottom part. Lining up with the squares perfectly aligned without laying down the rest of the image. Then, burnish down the image from the top to the bottom, and release it from the carrier sheet. Repeat these steps for each color. Practice makes perfect. You will get it if you haven’t already gotten it. I only replied to your question because I saw that she had not responded already. After a year later… I hope this helps.

[@Paperinparadise]

Where is your shop i dont see a link to it

[@Ninjakatz-zl2du]

Can this same thing be done with Design Space?

[@dianestigen1675]

yes

[@debbushee6970]

too different and not any info on how you got to make svg

[@SimplySallie]

The svg was purchased, so when you buy them they come just like that. I explain that in the beginning of the video 😊

[@splitarrowfarm]

Parchment Paper seems better to me
