Oh. My. Word. That font website is such a game changer. Thank you sooooooo much!
Best, solid, no nonsense tutorial this Newbie has found so far.
you have helped me more in this one video than the hundreds of videos that i have watched already. thank you..
Enjoyed the clear & quick way you explained this topic. Now have the confidence to work inside of Silhouette Studio. Thanks
Your video was clear, concise and the right length for a lesson. You really make it easy to learn. The offset is a new concept to me, and it took a moment t understand its use, but when you demonstrated using the colors (pink & yellow) I then understood. The site you shared is awesome indeed...thank you for a great video!
I just got my Cameo 4 and you have no idea how much this video has helped me! Wow I'm so glad I found you, thank you!! 😃
You are the best channel on TH-cam, SO MUCH INFO. Thank you for sharing.
thank you for covering how to print the layered type of image. using two colors are so cool and I knew they couldn't be that complex to cut...thanks!
Wow. Thank you. Been searching and searching videos and finally came across this one. Awesome!!!! Helped me so much!!!
This is a great tutorial. I just got my Cameo and I only want to start with cutting paper for cards, I don't want to do anything with vinyl and every tutorial I've seen and blog I've read deals with vinyl. I just want paper basics! This tutorial was very helpful.
Thank you for sharing, the Wordmark tip just saved me hours of deliberation. I learnt lots of other tips too. Just beginning but you have set me up for success!
Thank you for this video. My husband bought me a Silhouette about 2 years ago. After he watched me make tons of decorations by hand but I haven't had time to learn more than just the very basic functions. This is very helpful.
OMGggggg!!! I am SO grateful someone shared your LINK with me!THIS is exactly what I have been looking for - not just What to do, but HOW, WHAT & WHY YES YES! I hope you have LOTS more Videos for me to follow! I have my First Ever Silhouette Cameo3. I know NOTHING except how to type a word - THEN WHAT needs to be done (and why) I had NO IDEA! How can you spend this amount of $$ on this equipment and there is no Manual is Crazy - especially the ULTIMATE BEGINNERS MANUAL, LOL. LOVE THIS - CLEAR, CLEAN, CONCISE! HOME RUN FOR ME ;)
I love that Wordmark tip!! Thanks for sharing!!
That alone was worth watching! Great tip!
Thank you so much for this video. It helped me so much. I just got my Silhouette Cameo and I have been having problems with getting letters to cut out the way I wanted. This showed me everything I needed. Thank you again!
EXACTLY what I needed to get started! Simple and clear instruction. Thank you so much.
Thank you so very much for a wonderful tutorial! Now I know how to do a shadow and how to cut them separately! Thank you again!
Thank you very much! I just got a Silhouette Cameo 3 & am trying to learn how to use it. You did a very nice job explaining all this!
I just got my Silhouette and this was an awesome Video to teach me about the welding and how to select fonts..
I’m not sure if you mentioned this or not but are you using designer edition now I know you can do the offset in basic addition as well
I loved this video within the first minute! I've been trying to decide what font I want to use for a vinyl project, so the website you mentioned is a huge help. There were other great Silhouette tips too that I can't wait to try. Now to pull this machine out of the box & learn it. Thank you!
OMG Thank you for the wordmark website. That is AWESOME! So is this tutorial. I'm pretty new and feel like i'm just stumbling, there's very little obvious learning flow to this tool, even with other graphic tool experience. Thanks again.
Hi Kimber! Thank you for precise and informative directions! I am a complete "newbie" and probably taking on more than I should, but I'm gonna give this a shot. My letters are rather thin on the words that I'm attempting and I'm wondering if I offset will this help me attain thicker letters? The last example you gave was offsetting the yellow and pink letters. If I made everything the same color, would that make for a thicker font in the words that I'm attempting? My 3 words are Bar Fly Crew. I'm using the PT Serif Caption font. At this point I welded the letters, but I was thinking that off setting might be a better option. The letters/words are going on a clear flat Christmas ornament that's round and about 5 inches wide. Thank you so much for your help and Happy New Year!!!
this is the best text video! hope you’re still Cameo-ing 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you. You know your staff. Well said and very clear. Thank you
Love your TH-cam so helpful and you explain just how I can understand it and showing the task at hand great. Thank you so much.
Thanks for talking slow enough to understand, for repeating things to be sure we get it, and for not "talking with your cursor" like people in other videos do (as if waving their hands around). Your style is easier to follow. Thanks.
Very Helpful! If you have several lines of text how do you evenly space the lines? thanks
Extremely helpful!!! Thank you so much!!
Concise and informative for a newbie to Silhouette. Thank you.
Thank you so so much. I have had the cameo 2 for 3 years and only had 1 cut done on it, I found it all so confusing. This was perfection. Thank you, thank you.
How do you size font in studio. Beginner here. Doing a stocking board and want all the names the same size. Thank you.
Thanks so much. I'm a super beginning beginner & this was terrific!! Very overwhelming & I'm going to attempt. Yay!!
Just got a silhouette cameo 4. Had a Pazzle that I used for banner letters that no longer works. I am having trouble getting the 1.5 inch letters with the silhouette that I need for the banners. It always goes back to 72.0 when I need 215.0 or 1.5 inches. How do I get the size to stay where I need it? Thanks. Your tutorial was great!
Thanks Kimber, I just got a Cameo 3 and trying to learn a few things. Your video was very helpful. I really like the font site tip too.
I just got mine today. I can’t wait to try this. Thanks. Great instructions!
Thanks so much for the tips...can't tell you how helpful this was for me. I am just learning and your little video taught me quite a bit...thanks again!!
I wish I would have found you about 20 videos ago 😂 your tutorial is a-mazing!
I never knew that extension for chrome existed. Thank you so so much for sharing the wordmark.it hint. FANTASTIC
Great video. I've had a Cameo for approximately 9 years. It is somewhat user friendly but to get the most out of it I need help. Thank you for giving that help. I really like the wordmark.it tip.
So helpful!!!! A million thanks!!!!
thats the best tutorial ever...after having the silhouette for 2 years on my desk.and never use it, .now i learned something. . MY grandson bday is coming soon .can u show us how to do a bday banner .for example like 1month.2 month, etc. and add a photo too.
Good detail. Some fonts I can not weld. They don't cut in one piece. Any suggestions?
This such a great video! Very helpful and easy to understand.
I love this video, I'm new at using this program and you explained it well, thank you!
Thank you so much for this video. I'm a total newbie. I haven't even done my first project yet. Of all the videos I've seen, I understand yours the best. I want to make a re-usalble stencil that is slightly longer than the mat. Do you have any pointers or know of a good video to check out? Thanks!
Amazing video! So helpful!
This is awesome! I am new and this helped me alot. Thank you so much!
I am so glad I found this. I went thru so many vinyl sheets. the silhouette manual is too confusing. I much prefer the tutorials
Great video! Thanks! Best Silhouette video I've seen thus far.
Thank you this was helpful. I am having issues with cutting the vinyl. Can you do a video on how to cut words? I can cut pictures but when i add wording my silhouette says register failure. Thank you
Great video but am stuck on trying to figure out the subtract method of a word within a shape. I have played around with it but not sure what text works best to achieve this. Could you send some tips.
Thanks for the tutorial, it makes it easier to understand.
Love your instructions!!!
Nice video. This is exactly how I need it to be explained. Thank you so much.
Thank you, great tips for a beginner like me
Great instructional video. Was very easy to follow and I liked they way you recapped it at the end.
Thank you so much! I have struggled with words but you made it so understandable. Can't wait to try this.
Thanks for this short, to the point video. It was really helpful for me on my second day using my Cameo 3.
This was so helpful. If I may ask a question regarding text, please. When using script fonts with glyphs, a blue line appears under certain words/names - indicating a misspelled word. I've tried adding them to the dictionary but it doesn't seem to accept the word and the blue line remains which then also prints. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks so much!
Super Helpful!!! Thanks for such a great video!!!
How do you do numbers as in 100? Do you weld them group then send to cut after you get it like you want?
Thanks for sharing your Silhouette knowledge. How do you skew text to look like an over exaggerated italic?
I've watched a lot of videos, you made it very easy to understand! thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!!
Since the D and the rest of the word is separate, will it cut it like that or will it be cut as one word? I'm trying to cut out names for place settings and I want to make sure I can cut it as one word. Thanks for the help!
Awesome video for this newbie!!
Thank you. I like many others below have had my machine for years. The software is intimidating and I have not been successful in creating anything really useful. I am looking forward to trying your step by step tutorial. Thank for for being so clear! Wish me luck! :) I have subscribed and am looking forward to watching your videos.
Thank you ! So very well explained .
How do I make really fine letters for a heat transfer without them breaking when i peel the layer off ?
Thank you so much
I would create a tiny offset to thicken them up just a bit if you have having trouble with it.
I have the Cameo 3 and I have been trying to cut stencils for cookies. I cannot seem to get letters like the O, P, R, D, etc to cut correctly. I have tried bridging and still no luck. The O & The D completely cut out so all I have is ab Oval for the O, etc. How do I get it to cut the outline without the center of the D?
Can you do a tutorial that shows what the stencil looks like after it’s cut?
I also would like to know how to do this.
Super helpful! Thank you!!
Informative video, thank you!
Also - are your Tutorials compatible with the newer Cameo 3?? (icons, etc)
I just got my first silhouette Camino can't wait to get started ❤🤗 I'm sure I will have a lot of questions lol TFS
New subscriber here 🤩 I'm new to Silhouette. Your video is very helpful. Thanks for sharing 😍
Great video! I'm trying to get back into this again and this refresher was awesome. I'm subscribing to your channel!
Excellent tips! Thank you!!
Hi. New to silhouette. How would be the easiest to curve letters and putting circles around an set of words.
Would you please show/explain how you selected by color to separate them. I only have the basic software. Thank you.
Is the program free or it costs to join? I have a cameo3 and had trouble do buying from someone who already had it registered...ty
I use the word mark it but mine does not look like that or nor does it do some of what you do. Is that because you pay? I would pay because that is so worth it. Please let me know so I can go ahead and get it. Thank you and thank you for this wonderful video
Hey great video. When you release the compound path how can you get the txt box to work again to over write the words, I keep getting the anchor points coming up again instead on the blue text bar 🤔 x
Thank you!
This was such a great, easy, tutorial!
How do I keep the centers of letters in fonts so that I can make a stencil for painting on boards. Using COPPERPLATE GOTHIC font. Ie: Letters - D, R, O, etc... in capitals. And how to I get rid of an inner line in the letters? As the letter seems to have 2 cut out lines going around it.
Thanks, Julie
Very good tutorial! Thank you.
Any idea why worlds would be cutting on top of each other when printed? They look fine on the screen but when I send it to the cameo the bottom line is on top of the last word. On screen it’s all within the printing/cutting area. I was using Bluetooth to print if that makes a difference. Thanks!
Hey Kimber! Thanks for your great tutorial on using tText in Silhouette Studio! To be honest, I got an early version of the Portait back 2016 I think.. however, due to having to move my address so many times, my silhouette stuff has just boxed up and away for so long. Quite frankly, a lot of my silhouette stuff has gone missing (incl. cutting mat, cutting blade, tools etc and I am starting as a newbie. There is so much much new stuff out that frankly I don't know where to begin and what sort of cutting files you can use on basic Silhouette Studio. I have a Windows 10 laptop. Would you please advise me as to where to start!? Do I have to use vinyl etc? Help!!!!
thank you so much :-) i am playing around with the software now before getting my machine so when i get it i will be good at this. I got some really good tips here.
i have a question, hope you can assist me. when I create a word that i want to print in my Silhouette Studio and i go to size it with Make Compound Path. My final print of my job on vinyl heat transfer is not the size that i want. how can i fix this.
I can do everything you covered but I need help filling in the font. Thank you
That font website is awesome...but it doesn’t show all my fonts only the general fonts on word not the ones I’ve downloaded how do I get the extension to see every single font?
How do I cut a filled in text? I’m brand new with silhouette and don’t know anything about it yet I’m playing around and trying to learn.
So how do you connect text that are spaced apart for one connected and welded cut? Tried line spacing but no luck.
Thanks your a great teacher just subscribed 👍
If I want to make my text taller, but not wider and keep it so it still looks good, do you know how?
Can this machine be programmed from a laptop and can it cut a 16 inch circle at 40 mil thickness
Ok so I just got my silhouette and I'm so confused. I've watched many tutorials but I'm still so confused! Any suggestions
