@@thtskng3986 Hi! Thx for your question - Is the roller on the edge of your material? If you're not using the mat, you need to lift up your roller bar and move the roller over so it's on the edge of your material, then put the roller bar back down. Does that help?
Thank you so much for this video! No preamble, no 20 minutes of rambling, just fully explaining how to do the exact task I wanted to know about in a clear way. I usually hate having to go to video tutorials, because they're so much more cumbersome than a simple paragraph, but this one was much better than the actual manual, which doesn't even MENTION raising the rollers. It's like they expect some youtuber to do their jobs these days :V
You were my appx 5th hour of trying, and your video allowed me to get it in 2minutes!!!! Just by showing it does go on top of the grey line!!! THANK YOU SO MUCJ, you saved my business
Thank you so much! i hadn't used my cameo 4 for a few weeks and when i tried it was going way off.. So i did calibration which it porbably need it a little but if I had seen your video it would have saved me so many hours!
I wanna cry happy tears right now I have been so frustrated how to load the mat and it was sliding everywhere I was getting angry as first time user n this worked for me omg that you so much after all the frustration I can finally enjoy my machine yay if didn’t slide so I’m very happy with that omg this is the best tutorial for beginners like me super happy king last now k just need to get right settings to cut my stuff omg
if i place a sheet with registration marks right at the top left corner of the grid my machine wont move the cutting mat enough to read the registration marks and always cuts above where its supposed to
This is helpful! Are you supposed to move the mat further in once you load it before you cut? I'm trying to cut and the machine is cutting the mat above the vinyl when I sent it to the machine. Everything is within the cut lines in the studio software.
Hi there! That sometimes happens if your 12x12 mat is not selected in the page setup panel - Are you sure it's set to cut with the mat? Check all the dropdowns on the page setup panel. Let me know if that helps! :)
Make sure you have the "Constrain Media to Cutting Mat" checked or you will run in to the cameo 4 cutting the physical matt, its under Design Area Setup (newest software version).
I am having the same issue. I have selected the 12x12 mat and have checked the box "Constrain media to cutting mat" and the test cut every time is in that first inch on the mat and not on the material.
Once the vinyl is fed through the vinyl always folds over on one of the corners as the cutter goes back and forth at some point and creates a paper jam
Hi - Are you using a cutting mat, and if so, Is your vinyl secure on your cutting mat? Sometimes my mat loses a little stickiness in the corner and I end up using washi tape to hold the edges down
Did anyone find a solution to the Cameo 4 mat not loading? I am having that problem as well. I tried resetting my Cameo as TIyong Hussien suggested, but that did not seem to work. Long time user to Cameo, so I feel like this isn't user error. Thanks in advance if anyone has a solution!
Hi, thanks for this tutorial. I have my mat lined up and when I go to cut a window pops up that says please load the cutting mat into the cameo for before pressing send. Any suggestions.
Hello I wanna ask if I need to adjust the mat and the blade holder by using the down and right buttons? or when I load the mat like what you did it's good to go (cut)? I just tried my new Cameo 4. My first test cut I didn't do any adjustment and the test cut was on my cutting mat and not on the cardstock hahaha
@@LearnWithLisette first timer here. I just got it for Christmas. When I hit send it shows my Cameo but my Cameo will not load my mat, I even tried just vynal. The load button just blinks.
@@chloethacker762 I just boxed mine back up and sent it back. Im hoping that my next one won't do this. I have spent four days trying to fix it. No videos to help the manual doesn't help, reached out to groups they tell me to contact silhouette America and they didn't help either. Im literally in tears I have wanted one of these machines for years I finally got one for Christmas and this happened 😭
Drop any questions in the comments below! What beginner Silhouette questions do you have?
What does it mean when the mat won’t load? I press the feed button but it just blinks. I have the Cameo 4 and 4.3 version of software.
@@marybutler7358 same problem here
I have a silhouette cameo 4 and all of sudden it’s loading crooked one side is rolling in and one side isn’t, not using a cutting mat by the way

@@marybutler7358 That's a great question- Have you successfully connected your Cameo to the computer before and used it, or is this your first cut?

Thank you! I do love to get right to the point LOL. Glad I could help :)
Once again, the RUclips helpline has proved 100% effective and has stopped my new Cameo4 from being launched down the garden !!
So happy to hear this! Its a great machine - Just has a learning curve. Let me know if you have any questions!
I really was about to give up. I cannot believe it was that simple and I could not find better help on the website. Thank u so much!
So glad I could help!

I am having the same issue. It is cutting outside of my cutting mat and it is making me crazy!
Hi! Would this apply for the cameo 4 plus? Because that’s what I do but my machine always cuts way before the vinyl starts. 🥺 any tips ? Thanks!
Thank you ❤
You're welcome!
Once the vinyl is fed through the vinyl always folds over on one of the corners as the cutter goes back and forth at some point and creates a paper jam

Can you do one for the pro, I’m having problems with loading my mat, I just upgraded from a cricut explorer to a pro thanks

Can you make a video of how to load and cut card stock ?
My mat moved and it got cut ):
My mat loads as shown, however my pattern does not line up and the top 1" is eliminated from the cut.
Hi, thanks for this tutorial. I have my mat lined up and when I go to cut a window pops up that says please load the cutting mat into the cameo for before pressing send. Any suggestions.
When designing in Studio do you put the design at the top left of design?
Hi! Thanks for your comment :) I like to - But you can really place it anywhere on the mat/printable area
Not sure why but only one side of the roller bar locks and unlocks when I use the knob, the left side just stays locked down
That's normal - That's how it was designed.
An important part of this video would have been to show where the feed button is.
You're absolutely right! Sorry I didn't show that on camera :( The load button is the "up" arrow on the right side of the machine lit up in white.
Hello

I just tried my new Cameo 4. My first test cut I didn't do any adjustment and the test cut was on my cutting mat and not on the cardstock hahaha
Am I supposed to remove the backing if my mat?
Hi there, thx for the question- If you mean the clear thin topper of the mat, then yes - that protects the stickiness of the mat.
I dont know where the feed button is. I will look it up but just would have been a nice thing to include. Otherwise thank you.
mu cameo 4 does not have the feed botton light up only the bluetooth and pause bottons are on.. its a brand new machine
My mat is perfectly goes into machine, but when it’s cut along, my mat is slide in right side (no much, but cutting is not right)
I have the same problem 😕hope someone can tell us how to fix this problem
Thank you so much
My cameo ate the sticky mat, i cant get it out 😢
My vinyl shifts half way in the loading
I dont understand where you put the material on the mat. I'm not going to cut the mat alone
My cameo four won't cut
THANK U
My Cameo won't load, my light just keeps blinking. Please help
mine is doing the same!
Hi - Is this your first time setting it up or have you been able to successfully connect it before?
