    How about for a rhinestone template? Does it have a sticky backing? How thick is it?

      I don't think this would be truly thick enough for rhinestones.

    Love the placement trick! Thank you for sharing. My daughter is getting married on a budget. She wants a stained wood sign at her outdoor wedding and I’m curious if you have any tips and tricks for that. Would you use a stencil and paint the phrase or would you consider using 651 permanent vinyl lettering on stained wood? Also, for the staining the wood, would you recommend oil based or water-based stain (and do you have a brand preference)? Thank you again for your tips and tricks!

    Hi! I used the Stencil Material cut setting for the Oramask 831 and everything cut good EXCEPT one of the words... for some reason my mat starts to move every time it gets to that certain word. My rollers are were they should be... what could it be? Speed? Force? Any assistance is greatly appreciated. :)

  • @snawaz9896

    • @SoFontsy
      @SoFontsy  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi there, unfortunately you really only want to use stencil vinyl once. If you'd like a reusable stencil check out Melissa's post about the Ikonart system: facebook.com/watch/live/?v=322856636003560&ref=watch_permalink

  • @sidneywest2827

      Default cut settings, just with a force of 14 rather than 4.

    @marilu191 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    What happens if I want to make a multiplayer stencil? For example if my design has more than one color, how can I place the stencil vinyl precisely one on the top of the other (of course waiting for the paint to dry under neath) without sacrificing precision and peeling the paint underneath? Thanks!!!!

    • @SoFontsy
      @SoFontsy  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I would suggest you use Oracal's Oramask 813 stencil film. The recommended Silhouette CAMEO cut settings for Stencil Material can be used to cut the Oracal stencil material. You can find more information here: www.silhouetteschoolblog.com/2018/02/painted-wood-signs-tips-for-silhouette.html

    • @smolhedgehug8109
      @smolhedgehug8109 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I thought so too until I cut a piece of vinyl. The material is very flimsy and stretchy, so the transfer tape helps hold everything in place, which is especially important for "floating" details like the arrow's feather details

  • @pinchopaxtonsgreatestminds9591
    @pinchopaxtonsgreatestminds9591 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Good idea to put a box around, and to transfer the bits over. It's great that you can have actual hoes in your masks without having to have everything joined together.

  • @queenopearls

      I like the sound of her voice! It's very FUN sounding and reeks with confidence. But I get it. Not everyone likes the sound of "every" voice. The best thing to do if that is the case, is don't listen to her. Turn down the volume, watch a different video, and/or view the school blog. I don't know if could have become as good as I've become, from listening to her voice and reading her blog. Thank you for all you do for us! I've become a vinyl-holic, and my wife the pillow maker appreciates it. (Jim)
