Hi, thank you for this very informative video. Have you ever thought of doing instructional videos for a living?...you speak so succinctly, and eloquently...this is one of the best instructional videos I've ever watched. Great job :)
Hi Andrea, I just want to thank you for the best intro to the SC out there. I purchased a used one from a trusted crafter I am subscribed to. It took me 2years to get enough confidence to try to learn how to use it. Your video was a great start. I will look for more as well. I didn’t realize this machine was this old. I purchased . I thought I got it for a good price but now I find I really didn’t. I will try to learn to use it now. Thank you this many years later! Happy Day
Wow, finally a video I understood and was extremely helpful. Thank you so much. I am as green as they come so this is all completely new to me like a foreign language. It was refreshing to watch and listen since you were as professional as they come.
I just got this Cameo from a friend who didn't want it anymore. I'm looking to use it for scrapbook stuff. I have a cricut joy but like that this is larger. Plus free makes it a bargain.
Great instructional video! I bought myself one for my birthday/Christmas, and I have yet to open it. This was just what I needed to get started. Thanks!
I love this video it is so helpful without getting into anything else ... like what you had for breakfast or that you bought a new car LOL Do you have anymore tutorials on this machine for beginners ?
An Excellent video presentation. Having obtained a new Silhouette, I was looking for a presentation and introduction to the Cameo and yours was the best. Factual information, accurate representation of the equipment and without the "uh", "just a minute", etc. Thank you
Love that you've kept this video up! Like another person who commented about a year ago, I bought a used Silhouette Cameo (with some accessories and vinyl) several years ago at a garage sale and never taught myself how to use it. I have a project I want to do that incentivizes me to learn. Watching someone demonstrate is a quicker way to learn, imo. You've been very helpful, and I look forward to watching related videos on your channel.
What does this do? Dou need this to make your own pics to go on T-shirt? Is this a Printer? Or u need this with the printer. I'm sorry but I'm confuse about this🤷🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
howdy this is the machine i have now Cricut Expression® 2 , i had never heard of the Silhouette Cameo before today. which do you like better and why . please. rob
Excellent Video !! Just received my Cameo last week, having a problem with the cut. Way off, I have check the Calibration, however the left side is lower that the right side of the "Print n Cut", any suggestions would be helpful
Bought it, did not work. Sent it back and they sent another one. At least that is what I was lead to believe. Still not impressed. But I really would like to be, because I have talked about it's potentials so much that two friends bought their own machines. I guess when I try to cut a downloaded image from the online site... and it fails...ripped the paper as it cut... I become disappointed. I make adjustments and still get nothing but bad cuts.
This was very informative!!! I purchased this machine today because I got tired of asking someone to make my Tshirt with my Logo.. I'm looking forward to designing my own Tshirts..
I bought this and I love the design portion, but I've tried everything and I cannot adjust the rollers. The right white plastic part won't budge. ARGGH
Thank you for this well thought out video. Very helpful. Still can't get my new silhouette cameo to cut a stencil and of course they are closed on Saturday and Sunday for technical support. :-( Hopefully I'll find a video that will help me with this... Again, thanks!
Once I load my mat and begin to cut it sometimes doesn't stay straight as it moves inside the machine. I adjusted it to cut and 8.5 paper and I made sure the blue lever was up and the white slide was over to the groves in the middle of the bar but it doesn't always hold the paper??? What am I doing wrong?
good morning I have a silhouette cameo which I have had for some time but lately its stop working when I bring in a design I can't move it around the page or resize it please can you help me with this regards julie
buying a cameo today, but was worried I was too stupid to work it lol. great instructions, i will be referring and subbing to your channel thanks so much for taking the time!
l'm looking to do a large number of invitations How long before you need to change the blade? I'm doing a simple clam shape cut but for 300 invitations. Is this not a good idea with the Cameo?
I know it's a little late to help your situation but maybe others still want to know the similar question here. I own one. I cut patterns of small houses , so for simplicity let's just say each sheet of 8.5 x 11 I will cut about 20 small squares of equal size. I can probably cut about 100 sheets before changing the blade. about 10 cents per page given the blade cost. also sometimes you can have problems with build up of residue on the cutting mat that can give you the impression your blade is starting to fail. aslo I'm using 65 lb card stock. this is not as thick as greeting card material so that you have to consider too. there are also a lot of defective blades still circulating the shelves at craft stores from a bad run the company had (is heard ) this would explain why 2 of the 4 blades I got on amazon failed and even flat out broke
This video was very well done. All the questions you could think of to help you get started with the setup were answered. I love how clear Andrea spoke so you could understand EVERYTHING she said. Thanks......
Awesome video. Very easy to understand and you make it easy! I'm waiting for my Cameo to arrive and this gave me great info to get me started. Thank you for being so clear and taking the time to post this - very helpful!
I am having a difficult time having my computer recognize my silhouette cameo. I have tried many times and it says no silhouette connected. They are connected. Any ideas?
I just received my Cameo 2 and was able to learn so much from this video, even though it's for the original machine. Thank you. I'll be looking for more of your Silhouette tutorials!
You're an impressive presenter. Your confidence and competence is captivating and makes for an excellent walk through. Very well done!

I just got my Cameo and I set it up using your video. Thank you so much
Very clear and smoothly presented. Thanks
this tutorial is so detailed and helpful. thank you for taking the time to do this for people--really awesome of you.
Thank you for this tutorial. I bought this years ago but never got to use it. Now I’m trying to start. Hopefully this helps.
Awesome awesome video!!!! I can't thank u enough for this tutorial!
I just got this Cameo from a friend who didn't want it anymore. I'm looking to use it for scrapbook stuff. I have a cricut joy but like that this is larger. Plus free makes it a bargain.
You can make your own designs with the free software. The upgrade has more features, but the free one is quite powerful
I just got a Cameo 1 today (I’m waaaaay behind these times, I know, but times are hard) and this was an exceptionally helpful tutorial! Thank you!
Lexxtech18 I just got my cameo 1 today what software did you download as I do not have the disk
@@dylanmanser9709 i bought one yesterday, you can download it directly from the site.
Planning to get cameo 1 too, is it still worth it today? Or should i get the latest version? But it's expensive tho
ann riesan i bought one 2 months ago. It’s totally fine
I decided to pretend my Cameo 1 is brand new since I haven't used it in 5 years. I'm going to get busy so I can justify upgrading lol
Excellent video and very helpful!
Great instructional video! I bought myself one for my birthday/Christmas, and I have yet to open it. This was just what I needed to get started. Thanks!
Thank you so much! I just dusted off my Cameo after about 9 years and your tutorial helped me when I couldn't get it to work!
I love this video it is so helpful without getting into anything else ... like what you had for breakfast or that you bought a new car LOL Do you have anymore tutorials on this machine for beginners ?
So informative!! For a new Cameo owner, this is invaluable. Thank you so much for a great instructional video!!! :)

I dont know what you mean by "die cut"?
I bought this and I love the design portion, but I've tried everything and I cannot adjust the rollers. The right white plastic part won't budge. ARGGH
The best explanation I've heard. Thanks.

Very Helpful! My first cut was off the paper... I had it set to media instead of mat... I learned the difference from your video! Thanks!

So you need to upgrade the software to be able to use your own designs?
the black fungus under her nails was grossing me out!
I am having a difficult time having my computer recognize my silhouette cameo. I have tried many times and it says no silhouette connected. They are connected. Any ideas?
I had the same issue on Windows 10. I think it is related to the usb version. If I plug the cable into a usb hub I don't have any issues.
so is this trying to copy the cricut???
I just received my Cameo 2 and was able to learn so much from this video, even though it's for the original machine. Thank you. I'll be looking for more of your Silhouette tutorials!
