I love how direct and to the point you are! You are a good instructor! Sometimes i do not want to watch videos because the instructor just babbles and digresses but not you! Thank you!
Silhouette Noob here, thank's for the the great explanation! Trying to do as much research as I can before jumping into it, but I am so excited to start making stuff. Just ordered my first sheets of Vinyl to make some decals with!
Hello Bonnie. I just wanted to tell you that I've been unable to learn this for, well more time than I wish to share 😆. However, your instructions were not only detailed, but brief and to the point. This allowed me to see, understand, and learn how to do this without frustration. I have subscribed and will keep watching!!!! Thank you so very much!
I just purchased my Cameo 4 and OMG it's so foreign on trying to learn it lol!!!! And I came across your video and I must say it has really helped me out and now I understand. Thank you so much and I have also SUBSCRIBED to your channel!!!
After two days of increased vocabulary I figured it all out. I have down loaded from other SVG files from trusted web sites. I'm watching your video to learn more.
Very helpful I feel better about using it I have a silhouette and just got married I would love to make our sign I feel more comfortable to try it now thank you so much❤️❤️❤️
Great Video, slow enough that I could write down the steps & actually do them. Looking forward to training the steps to get better at my skills. I will check out the blog. Marcia Schmitt
This was very helpful. I have just gotten my Silhouette Cameo 3 and was a little overwhelmed (still am) but getting there. I'm new to this entire process and not sure yet of what I'm doing..... but live and learn :)
Thank you so much for this video. It is really helpful. I just got a new Silhouette Cameo 3. And I'm learning it. But you really help me , thank you so much!!!
I wish you could do some steps much slower and move the cursor at a slower speed so that we can see where you've gone on the screen. For example towards the end you were selecting the white area as one cut area and the pink as another but you went so fast that I couldn't see where you were going on the cut commands to make those commands, even when backing up and watching several times. So to be more informative, slow down as if YOU were the student and was looking for that button to make the selection. This is a video for newbies so please try to remember we don't know where all of those buttons or selections are and have to take the time to look for them. Thanks!
Great video! Actually found the exact daisy that you were using. Everything was fine until you got to the cut option. I have the Cameo 4 and am a newbie and that feature isn't in the basic edition, at least, not for me. so I wasn't able to finish as I couldn't cut. Any suggestions?
Great video, very helpful. I can not figure out how to get my library and design page opened at the same time, side by side. I can not drag my image onto my design page. Thanks
Very helpful video! You went a little quickly past the No Cut part and I'm a little unclear as to what Cut/No Cut meant. Looks like it's something I need to know, because I was thinking you'd have to separate the pink from the white layers on the screen to cut one at a time. Guess I'll need to find a video on that feature. Thanks for this video!
Thanks for the feedback Erin. We will submit that idea for an extended video. When you drag your image onto the mat, if red lines dont show up it, the cut lines are not turned on. She traced the image to get the red cut lines so her machine would know where to cut.
I got confused also on the cut/no cut part. Did you leave the entire image on the mat when you cut? Was that why you did no cut/cut feature on each color so you didn't have to separate the image so the silhouette would just cut the one color at a time? Thanks!
What kind of paper do u use is it a clear heat transfer vinyl so the colors will come out correct or just one solid color my question is how do u get different colors to print out on your vinyl
I just got a new Silhouette Cameo 3 also and I uploaded the daisy just like you did put it on my desktop but when I got it into my mat in silhouette a little yellow sign came up saying that it was low resolution and I would have to make the daisy smaller in order for it to work anyone getting that symbol and what does do I have to do
Very informative video however I can't find the "Trace Tool" under the object drop down menu in my Silhouette Studio. Only options available for me are Mirror, Arrange, Align, Rotate, Replicate, Modify, Group & Ungroup (Both Grayed out), Convert to path, Make compound path (Grayed out) & Release Compound Path... Please advise! *Update: I found the Trace tool! Turns out I have the newer version of the Silhouette Studio. The Trace tool is now on the toolbar on the right hand side in the program.
The trace tool will be on the right hand side and the 5th down from the top (might be a little different depending on what version you have. It looks like a butterfly in a rounded square
She changed the color on the page so that you can see what she is doing. You will be able to cut the image on which ever color you are wanting to cut it from. She cut this flower with white and pink vinyl.
Hi Is it possible to change the color of my black and white logo then print it to put on a shirt How can I print it as the color to my liking as a HTV ?
She layered them together. This isn't the exact project, but this video will show you how vinyl can be layered. ruclips.net/video/u-v5_QITG9A/видео.html
Video is OK but a bit confusing in certain areas beginning with the Releasing Compound Path. After that the video cruises along at expert speed leaving the novice in the dust. I'm using Studio Basic Edition 4.3.3411ss and your screen tool bar library split screen is completely different than what you are using on your video. Perhaps it might be helpful to include the Studio Software version you are using to avoid confusion as to where certain tools are located. Case in point, the fill tool is not on the top tool bar but can only be found after selecting the paint pallet an doing some panic clicking to have it show up. Frustrating already and I haven't even opened up the Cameo4 box yet.
I’m so sick of this stupid machine I haven’t been able to use it since I’ve got it years ago I did all of this and every time I click send to silhouette nothing happens. The only thing I’ve been able to cut is some weird circle thing that’s in the program.
great tutorial!! My Question is once we make the changes after importing will it save the image that way or will we have to edit it every time we use that image in a project?????
I follow you but got lost desktop find image, could you please help me. My silhouette is three years old and I don't know how to use it. Thanks In Advance
Hi Veronica, we use an HP Envy but there are a lot of great options out there. You just want to make sure that you are using an Inkjet and not a laser jet for most of the printable vinyl. Hopefully this helps.
We don't want that to happen. Here is a link to the machine settings. You may need to scroll down a bit to find the exact machine you are looking for. Please let us know if there is anything additional we can assist you with. expressionsvinyl.com/machine-settings/
I love how direct and to the point you are! You are a good instructor! Sometimes i do not want to watch videos because the instructor just babbles and digresses but not you! Thank you!

So super helpful! Thank you!

After you color the flower you went to the cut settings now I’m lost I don’t see my cut settings

When you sent the image to the Silhouette, how did you get the color to transfer? What color vinyl did you use? Did you just use white?
She changed the color on the page so that you can see what she is doing. You will be able to cut the image on which ever color you are wanting to cut it from. She cut this flower with white and pink vinyl.
Hi
Is it possible to change the color of my black and white logo then print it to put on a shirt
How can I print it as the color to my liking as a HTV ?
Yes! We have printable heat transfer vinyl! expressionsvinyl.com/8-5-x-11-inkjet-printable-heat-transfer-vinyl/
What type of file was the image you saved/downloaded from the internet? SVG, JPEG or what?
This image was a jpeg.
saved my life thank u
You are welcome!
Wow! this machines is so foreign, Im ready to pack it up and return - are there any "Very Beginner Courses"
Try these! They really helped me when I was first starting out! ruclips.net/video/eb8o5zY9EVI/видео.html
The first part of the video went great...then you lost me after you colored the white and pink petals. :)
Hi Melissa, what questions did you have about it. We'd be happy to assist you.
Me too! lol
Me three. Very lost after you colored the white and pink petals
me 4th. Why do u color it? this is a cut machine, why u color it? how the paper got colored also??
Add me to the list
Can you follow these same steps with HTV? And if so, how would you iron it on?
You would apply the one you want on as the bottom layer first then put the next layer on. ruclips.net/video/u7zGVNxspUo/видео.html
When I import a image there is this black circle that keeps following my image when I move it. Do you know what that is?
We are unsure what the black circle would be.
So you use 2 different colour vinyl to make one? How do you put them together tho
She layered them together. This isn't the exact project, but this video will show you how vinyl can be layered. ruclips.net/video/u-v5_QITG9A/видео.html
Great info! Thank you from @BrilliantClothingCollection
Hello im having the hardest time tracing my business logo on Silhouette studios! You think you could help me out?
hi i would like to know what version of this software are u using
I believe she is just using the basic edition.
Video is OK but a bit confusing in certain areas beginning with the Releasing Compound Path. After that the video cruises along at expert speed leaving the novice in the dust. I'm using Studio Basic Edition 4.3.3411ss and your screen tool bar library split screen is completely different than what you are using on your video.

Frustrating already and I haven't even opened up the Cameo4 box yet.
How can I get cursive different letters on my Silhouette my first time buying one.
Hi, are you wanting to add different fonts?
Perhaps I missed it, but which version of Silhouette Studio are you using here? The basic free version, or an upgraded paid version?
This is an older video. It is the free basic, however, it is an older version.
I’m so sick of this stupid machine I haven’t been able to use it since I’ve got it years ago I did all of this and every time I click send to silhouette nothing happens. The only thing I’ve been able to cut is some weird circle thing that’s in the program.
Can we cut any images from Google? Which image file is more suitable??
Some of the most used file types we see used in silhouette studios are: jpg, png, dxf, and svg. All work great!
please help!!!! i cannot get my bundle that i just bought imported. i have tried what you said and it still wont work
When you click on import to library, and select your image in your file what is it telling you?
great tutorial!! My Question is once we make the changes after importing will it save the image that way or will we have to edit it every time we use that image in a project?????
You will need to save the image so that you do not need to adjust the image every time.
What size should the image be
There really isn't a recommended size. It can be very small or larger. Once it is traced you can resize it to your needs.
I follow you but got lost desktop find image, could you please help me. My silhouette is three years old and I don't know how to use it. Thanks In Advance
You can send us a message on Facebook or on our website and we will be happy to help you through the process :)
What printer are you using
Hi Veronica, we use an HP Envy but there are a lot of great options out there. You just want to make sure that you are using an Inkjet and not a laser jet for most of the printable vinyl. Hopefully this helps.
i cant find the cut settings
Here is a link to them.
Aww man my program Doesn't show a "trace" option. I'm working on the cameo 4
The current location of the trace option is on the right side bar about the 5th option down. It looks almost like a square around a tiny butterfly.
Yes!! Thank you so much 🥸
Why is your circle Yellow but mine isn't??? Plz help
You can change the color of the item by selecting the image then the color options will show in the top left of the options bar.
i cant find cut settings and it is destroying me
We don't want that to happen. Here is a link to the machine settings. You may need to scroll down a bit to find the exact machine you are looking for. Please let us know if there is anything additional we can assist you with. expressionsvinyl.com/machine-settings/
