Omgggggg I feel like I just learned so much in these short amount of minutes, YOU ARE AWESOME I HAVE WATCHED SO MANY VIDEOS THEY WHERE NOT NEARLY AS GUF AS YOURS! Thank You So Much!
Thank U!!! I'm a newbie had no clue on how to place the vinyl on the mat thank you so much!!!! Your the only 1 who explains everything w details. I subscribed.
Thanks, Melissa, for the video! I'm relatively new to Silhouette. The family got me the Cameo 4 for my 60th last year and I haven't cut vinyl yet. I would love to do flex on the granddaughters' t-shirts! The tips about the weeding box and cutting bottom left are SO smart!! Thanks again.
Thank you so much Melissa. I love how you teach step by step. I’m too scare to do my first cut. Do you have a tutorial video on the Silhouette on how to make sure the machine cuts all the areas that you want to cut, not just around, for example the Don’t Give Up logo. What do you set up the machine Tu cut in the tiny parts of the letters, I hope you can read this and help me thank you so much 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I gave up on this but have come back to see if I can learn this. This one was very helpfully. I do have problems with the computer set up but I hope to find move video you have done to help. Thank you. Dave
Great video- do you have a link to show how to create the box around the design and also have it located at the bottom to check for cut quality :) thank you
Hi Melissa! Noob with a Cameo 5 here. Great video! I definitely picked up some useful tips. Question for you: if I want to gift a vinyl sticker to someone so that they can apply it onto something themselves, is there a way to do that? Meaning cover the exposed sticky side of the vinyl after it is picked up with the transfer paper. Obviously without ruining its ability to be applied. I appreciate any help!

I have an idea for Silhouette to upgrade on. Maybe you can help relay this to them. Whenever I work with two machines it takes too many steps to switch from on to the other. They need to make it easier to switch from one to the other. I love your videos and I have learned so much from them. Continue your great work.
Hello Melissa! Thanks for making the videos. As a 65 yr old male i am trying to learn how to do the shirt transfers as i go into retirement. I just bought a Silhouette Cameo 4 and a 15 x 15 clam shell digital heat press. I bought the Hobby Lobby smooth white htv. When I use the Silhouette Studio smooth htv settings, it cuts through the htv an actually scores the cutting mat. Can you help? Thanks again.
Usually that is due to the autoblade not being pressed completely into the carriage..which prevents the blade itself from being properly adjusted. Make sure there is no gap in the blade. You can go to the contact page on silhouetteschoolblog.com and send a picture if you 'd like me to confirm
THANK YOU so much for this video! I was able to label all of my scrapbooks perfectly and with confidence. Question for you... on the left panel on your machine... how did you do that? :)
Hi there! The free skin can be downloaded here on our sister site So Fontsy sofontsy.com/collections/so-fontsy-design-shop/products/sf-silhouette-cameo-4-skin-template
I'm not sure I understand your question. If you have scraps you can use them to cut later. If you have already pulled off the vinyl from the vinyl backing, it can't really be re-used.
@@SilhouetteSchool At 4:50 you are putting the vinyl on the sticky mat and using just the bottom square of the red vinyl, after you remove that square on red vinyl what do you do with the rest of the red vinyl that is still on the mat? (approx. 14:00). Hope that makes better sense.

Thank you for making this video for beginners! The auto setting doesn’t seem to be cutting vinyl well for me. What do you recommend for depth, force, and speed settings?
I have an Epson XP15000 wide format inkjet printer. I have made a graphic that is 8" x 16" that I want to cut out on the Camio. is this possible? I have looked every where for someone cutting on anything but 9 x 11 or letter size to cut on. You seem to have the most knowledge around using high end equipment like Roland and what not.

Hi Melissa. I just bought my Cameo 4 Plus and still am having difficulty linking it to my MacBook Pro. I’m running the new Ventura OS system.

As a beginner, after the vinyl is cut….. what should the backing paper look like after your design is transferred to the transfer tape. I’m guessing… if I cut through the backing, then my depth needs to be reduced but in your opinion, what would be a perfect cut or close to perfect cut by inspecting the backing . As a guess, I’m thinking that a good cut would be that the vinyl weeds easily & leaving a slight imprint on the backing paper without piercing through the back paper …. Thank you so much for your videos & you’re an awesome instructor
Hey there! What I like to do is pull a little piece of the design out before I unload my material to make sure it's cut correctly. If it's still loaded, if you need to do another pass you can. I would use that as my gauge versus what the backing paper looks like.

What are the cut settings for cutting without. mat?
They are the same.
Are 2 passes worth it? I always do thin fonts and I feel like 1 pass is better
It really depends on the design and the material you are cutting
@Silhouette School with Melissa Viscount mainly vinyl, the thin font sometimes comes out great and then other times it gets pulled off the sheet a little. I'm not sure how to fix I tryed more force but that seemed to make it worse
I’m so frustrated with my cameo plus every time I do a test cut it always cuts half way on the mat and half way on the vinyl
Usually changing software versions resolves those types of issues.

As a beginner, after the vinyl is cut….. what should the backing paper look like after your design is transferred to the transfer tape. I’m guessing… if I cut through the backing, then my depth needs to be reduced but in your opinion, what would be a perfect cut or close to perfect cut by inspecting the backing . As a guess, I’m thinking that a good cut would be that the vinyl weeds easily & leaving a slight imprint on the backing paper without piercing through the back paper …. Thank you so much for your videos & you’re an awesome instructor
Hey there! What I like to do is pull a little piece of the design out before I unload my material to make sure it's cut correctly. If it's still loaded, if you need to do another pass you can. I would use that as my gauge versus what the backing paper looks like.
How do I download the free silhouette design. I am having a problem.

My silhouette is not registering my vinyls how can I remedy that?
Hello there! You should not need registration marks turned on for vinyl. Check out this page for first cut tutorials: www.silhouetteschoolblog.com/p/silhouette-cameo-first-cut-and-beginner_14.html

WHYYYYyyy
You can’t even import your files on cameo 4 and with your tutorial all it did was cut a square
Hey there! It really depends on the image that you're bringing into Studio. A PNG file needs to be traced to get cut lines. Here I used a SVG. Check out this blog post: www.silhouetteschoolblog.com/2023/04/what-is-best-file-type-for-silhouette.html
You talk way too fast and do not thoroughly explain how the blade is working. Do you want to change a setting to 14 which setting?
You'd want to increase the force to 14.
You didn’t show us how to actually set it up to cut??!! Useless
