Thank you so much. I like the range of images in Silhouette better than in Cricut. This is the easiest tutorial I found!
You are so stinkin’ hilarious; you have taught me soooo much since I found you on TH-cam 2 days ago! Thanks for speaking to us that are new to silhouette in a manner that we can learn! I am binge watching you NOW....... the only thing to make it better was if you were on a Mac lol🤓
Teresa, thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words! I have actually been looking at a Mac so that I can offer a wider range of knowledge to my fellow crafters. Maybe Santa will bring me one for Christmas! ---Becky
@@DesignBundles you'll never go back to a garbage Windows machine again once you get a Mac! I would pay whatever price I had to for a new one if I needed one. They last forever too!
@@suezeeq12 lol I love my Mac now but would totally have disagreed with you last Christmas when I got mine and had to google how to do everything I ever thought I knew and knew well! when I had my PC! So have patiences if you do get one and use search a lot when figuring it out!!
I'm watching this. Because cricut design space is stressing me out. huhuhuhu I hope this helps.
I have pulled my hair out with Cricut. Tech has been zero help. I really was ready to return my machine. Then someone in a FB group suggested Silhouette Studio. I searched and here you are! Thank you! You saved my poor machine from an early death! Just subscribed!
We're happy to have you here! If you ever have any troubles our Customer Support is happy to help 😊 designbundles.net/help-center#email-us
Just purchased free silhouette and had business edition for 48..Here i go learning again with my cricut maker.
I feel your pain!
On Mac to save as PNG the following works. From top of screen drop down menu print from file menu. A Silhouette print box opens and select print again and another box opens up, from this box go to the drop down in the lower left corner and select open in preview and when that window opens go to the file menu on the top of the screen and select export and that will allow you to select PNG.
Have you tried it on an iPad Pro?
This was so helpful! Thank you for posting this. I came into TH-cam to do some research on this and found your video. I’m even more excited because this video was posted 1 day ago!!! Not like 2-3years like other stuff I research that’s outdated. Haha. Thanks again.
Awesome MP! So glad we were able to help! ---Becky
Becky, you mentioned you thought it was easier thank Inkscape - well, I'm here to tell you, it definitely is!!! I learned the basics of Inkscape (enough to save some sublimation designs as PDF's lol) and I have learned Silhouette Studio so much quicker!!! YOUR videos have played a large part in that process.
So glad to hear it was helpful!
Cricut now has offset I LOVE it. I recently downloaded silhouette but wow huge curve... I even am awesome with photoshop n cricut..... but those glyphs badass 😎
Love,love, love your instructions. I’m obsessed with silhouette studio and now am the proud owner of a business edition. You are amazing. You alway teach me something necessary for me to know.
Me to.
Becky …. You save my sanity!!!! Thanks so much for this tutorial. Just what I needed 💖
You are so welcome!
Becky with the good hair, that’s a song lol you are my new bestie!!! I was looking into buying a pro silhouette I still will but I can check it out.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 Thanks Home girl you helped me out boo, I will be looking at more of you videos.
I'm happy we could help!! :)
THANK YOU!! I have been on the struggle bus trying to figure this out!!
Happy to help! 😊
This video helped so much! Thank you ❤
Found this video in 2024 I been a cricut owner 2 years now but I've currently stop since DS has been lagging once i start using the "Text " input and it's frustrating. Heard this once I 1st started doing my research but didn"t think i needed to do so yet I'm here really having purpose on learning silhouette and paying a silhouette machine thank you for this video
Thank you !!! Perfect Tutorial EVER ,
Glad it helped! - Brittany
You truly are a wonderful teacher. Thank you for your tutorials
Kelly! What kind words! Thank you so much! If you have any Silhouette or Cricut questions, please reach out and let us know! We are here to help if you need us! 😊
Thank you so much. I'm doing research to start a tshirt business but wasn't sure if i should get a cricut or silhouette cameo machine. I was told SS allows you to be more creative but cricut has more options. It's nice to know i can combine both for my creations. I'm a new subbie and will join your channel as well. Again, thank you so much 💖
You are AMAZING -- all the knowledge you have and you explain in a way that is easy to understand. Thanks so much!!
Great tips Becky, I haven’t been using my Silhouette Designer lately. You have given me some inspiration to get using it again with my Cricut. Thank you 😊
Yay Sharon! So happy to help! ---Becky
That was great. Can you do one with cricut saving into silhouette. Pleaseee.
Yes please
Sihouette studio is the best :)
Thank you so much for the tutorial, very helpful!!!
Becky you are Brilliant! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge especially converting file.
Can you do a video on getting Cricut images to Silhouette Studio. I'd like to use the images from the cartridges I purchased as I have so many.
I was about to ask her the same thing.
Good question Sherri, I sure can! I'll add it to my list. ---Becky
Thanks a lot for this video. It showed me what I needed to complete a task.
I'm so glad it helped!! :)
Nice! Great info - great explainations🌻
This worked amazingly well! I've been wanting some of these Silhouette images! Was able to convert one, ungroup the images and it cut perfectly! When I purchased from Silhouette, I noted that you could purchase the SVG for $1.49 so for those that don't need but a few images, that's an option. Off to convert a few more before I use up my conversions! Thanks again! :)
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! 😊
I loved this video and I upgraded and I am so happy!!!
Yay! That's exciting :)
Very informative!! Love all your tutorials!
This is brilliant!!
Very very helpful and detailed thank you!!
Glad it was helpful for you!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Holy cow my mind is blown!! I'm so so excited about this! I looove my Maker and have been so jealous of the unbridled power of Studio...now I don't have to be! Muahahahaha 😁😂 thank you for this video! 🙌🏻
Same Stacy! I use my Maker a ton but still follow this method to design in Silhouette Studio. Glad we found each other! ---Becky
@@DesignBundles ☺☺☺
Amazing video really 👏 helpful thank you so much
You're so welcome! I'm glad it was helpful! :)
I know this is a year old, cricut does have offset, which I love, the only thing is sizing. Will only let you do a certain size
Thanks for letting us know!
Until then thank u so much for this
Thank you for this amazing video. I'm trying to make a decision...I definitely want silhouette studio. Would you recommend silhouette studio with it's native cameo 4 for or silhouette studio with the cricut maker 3?
This is fantastic. Thank you so much. Going to buy the business edition and use this. Cricut has offset but it won't work on my computer.
I have the Silhouette studio business design and cricut explore 3. What “silhouette machine” would I choose upon setting up?
Is there anyway to take the cut lines across from silhouette studio to design space .
Thank you
I prefer Silhouette Studio over DS but love my Cricut Maker!
We are two peas in a pod, Amanda! The Cameo 4 is winning me over a little, but my Maker is still my fav! ---Becky
Thank you for this tutorial! Can the Silhouette software be used on a tablet or iPad?
Hey Betty! The Silhouette Go App is very limited at this time and is still in Beta testing. I wouldn't rely on it at this time, but I am hopeful that it will improve in the near future. I'm going to link you to a video that may help. ---Becky
th-cam.com/video/3_IsAuluRD0/w-d-xo.html
Love all your videos. Thank you for creating them. Do you have any tutorial on how to text all the way around a shape and add shapes in between words and be able to change color of text? I hope you can help
Are you wanting to wrap text in Silhouette or Cricut? 😊
I was trying to make labels and print them off, design them and silhouette and save them and upload them from cricket to print and then print and cut but it’s not letting me do that so maybe this video will help me
I got lost along the way so bottom line to use the cricut machine I either have to upgrade or go through all those steps?
Omg Becky!! I’m so happy I found you!!
Hey Kathryn, I'm glad we found each other too! ---Becky
Thank you! I love silhouette software and it’s what I know but I have a Cricut Joy and I want a Maker. I have business edition so I wanna keep my software!!!
Yasss Audrey, I love using the Silhouette Software but the Maker is a fabulous machine, this way you get the best of both! ---Becky
amazing absolutely amazing thank you i am hooked on you page now x please get a mac
Thanks for watching! 😊
How about cricut design to silhoutte cutting machine? Tysm love ur vid!
This might be a silly question, but is the upgrade for Silhouette Studio a one time upgrade or yearly?
It's a one-time fee 🙂 ~ Katie
I purchased the Designer's edition, thinking I would be able to save in SVG format. Wrong. With an additional program I could. I should have gone with the business edition upgrade. Some day I will be able to get a Silhouette, then I won't need to worry about using it on my Cricut Air 2. LOL (live and learn I guess)
Hey, there is good news here! You can still use the workaround that I posted in the video, or you can simply buy the extra step upgrade to take you from DE to BE. I'll link it here for you, it's less expensive than purchasing the full upgrade again. Hope this helps! ---Becky
www.swingdesign.com/products/silhouette-studio-designer-edition-to-business-edition-digital-upgrade-code-emailed
@@DesignBundles Thank you. I knew you could upgrade for a little difference in price. I just had hoped I could do it in the Designer's edition. I kind of think I am going to save instead for the machine, then worry about upgrading to Business edition from there. (A fixed income makes it harder, you have to figure out which you need more! LOL I think I need the machine more than the software at this point. LOL)
just awesome
Thank you awesome video
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
I have the cricket expressions original. Having a heck of a time trying to cut. I can make my project, but when it's time to cut, I won't recognize my machine. I've only used it a handful of times, I'd really like to use it. Idesa? Please and thank you.🖖
Will the Silhouettestudio business edition work with the Siser Juliete ?
Thank you so much! This is very helpful. Now is there a way to do the other way around? I created some projects from Cricut Design Space but decided to get Silhouette Cameo machine. Can I open Cricut files in Silhouette Studio? Many thanks!
Becky, I followed your directions and when it came time to save as an SVG, I didn’t have that option. I had 3 options, two silhouette and one GSP (idk what that even is) I recently gave my daughter my silhouette and I got a cricut maker. I have used a silhouette for many years and I have the Business Edition. Why don’t I have the option to save as the different files like you had?
Hey Twylah, I would make sure that your license code is still input into the software. From time to time I have to re-enter mine for it to re-unlock the upgraded features. If this isn't the case for you, you might have to reach out to Silhouette support. Hope this helps! ---Becky
Is it easier to buy cameo machine ? I’m not that computer savvy lol I’m mostly interested in rhinestones designs
heey thanks for this but my silhouette program doesn't save as svg it only saves in silhouette file, can you change this somewhere?
Hi Becky love your videos. I need help trying to make cut lines on a shape. I got this candy holder that needs a perforation in the back to get the candy out, like a half circle perforated. Can you show how to that? Would I have to bring that project into silhouette or could I take the half circle into design space? I made the shape and put dashed lines on it took it to DS and the lines were solid.
Hi 😊I am trying to save the image at silhouette so I can use at the cricut design , but the only 3 options that show are; GSP, Silhouette studio v3 and V2. I have designer and business edition. Can you please help me?
i own a cameo 3 the thing with shilouete i dont have to be connected to the internet i can use my machiine stand alone with my laptop and i cvan save all my files to my hard drive not somone else cloud based servers. thats why i picked it , plus i use aAfter market blade holder 2.0 and i can use cricit blades as well as roland blades. kinda like the cb09 but that only used blades made for that holder.
Hey Robert! Yes!! Not having to use the internet is a huge plus!
@@DesignBundles l also save the softwae on one of ext drives i have had issue or software glitches and wss abble roll my siftwre back the prev version i purchsed an upgrade once not knowing i could only intall it 3times and paid 49.00dollers for it .so i would sujedt keeping all the downloaded software in a folder ..sorry iamon window10 keybrd bad idea..lol
Thank you for all the wonderful videos. Here’s my dilemma. I don’t have either machine yet. I use and love Silhouette Studio. But for some reason I just can’t shake the feeling that Cricut is a better machine, with better cutting tools. What is your opinion about that? Overall, but then specifically with regards to Print and Cut.
Also, when using SS to create something to take to a Cricut to Print and Cut, does the bleed option work?
Hey Elizabeth, I would say that Cricut does have the better Print and Cut feature as far as accuracy, but you are more limited on size than what you would have with the Silhouette machine. If you are creating a Print and Cut image in Silhouette Studio, then you should still have the same options as you do importing any other clipart, you'll delete out the white space and then yes, the bleed would work well. Hope this helps! ---Becky
@@DesignBundles Thank you for your reply.
Question? I have cricut access. Do you find a better selection of designs with silhouette or cricut ? Thank you
Hey Beth! I'll be honest, I don't use much of either, I get my designs from DesignBundles.net because of the commercial use license. Hope this helps! ---Becky
@@DesignBundles thank you
@@DesignBundles is design bundles.net a monthly subscription?
I did the same size for Cricut as i did in Silhouette and cricut actually cut out bigger than what silhouette printed..
What was the size of the mats in both programs? - Brittany
Do you need to get the joy software even with business addition? And do you still need to lower your version in silhouette? I’m confused!
Hi Linda! The Silhouette Business edition is needed if you are going to be creating and saving SVG files. You can then upload the SVG files into Cricut to be used with your Joy device. 🙂
Sometimes I’m silhouette when I try to say foul as JPEG or SVG PNG, PDF it doesn’t have that option why is it?
So helpful! How to I export the images from my Silhouette Library into Cricut Design Space?
Any tips on transferring my projects from Cricut design space into silhouette studio? Just upgraded from Cricut to the cameo 4 pro and reaaaally don’t want to redo all of my vinyl stencil designs.
Our apologies for the delay in response and we hope you've found the answer but if you are still having any troubles, please feel free to write in to mail@designbundles.net or join us in a live chat so we can help with your next project! - Brittany
hi ive just upgraded to business edition so i could design my cake toppers in silhouette and then cut them on my cricut however i didnt realise you couldnt save a file with both cut and print elements i tried to open my topper but it couldnt open the images i had put on the topper i take it there is no way around this thank you so much
Good question Cheryl. I would recommend saving from Silhouette Studio as a PNG with a transparent background opening up in Cricut Design Space, that should help. Let me know if that works for you! ---Becky
Just subscribed
If someone upgrades their software and then decides to buy a new computer, does this mean that they have to purchase the upgrade again for the new computer?
Thanks for video… way too much for letter designs… way simpler process without having to pay money etc. thanks for video
Sorry I know this is old. Quick question… once you bring your design into Cricut are there any differences with how Cricut cuts such as settings vs Silhouette. I can’t decide between Maker 3 or cameo 4 😩
Both programs are different, I recommend downloading both (they are free) and playing around to see which one you are more comfortable using. - Brittany
how can i transfer a project from cricut design to silhouette please help me i have a lot of designs on my cricut that i want to use in silhouette
what if your silhouette studio doesnt allow you to put the file as SVG?
Hello! You’ve made this look so easy, but I was wondering if possible if you could show me how to wrap an image. I make tumblers and I bought an image that won’t fit into a template. I know silhouette can wrap the design, I just would like a step by step (and then follow this video to import)
Hi there! Are you looking to use Design Space to create the tumbler wrap? This video might help! th-cam.com/video/hx7ZoZyII6o/w-d-xo.html
I just watched this video, WOW, I sure learnt a lot, thank you! You mentioned that BE is about $60, but I checked their site and saw it's $100. Does it mean the price was increased recently or am I missing something? Thank you!
Hey Onyinyechi! Check out this listing from Swing Design, they seem to be the go-to for the best prices on Silhouette Studio upgrades. Hope this helps! ---Becky

Hi great information. My question is can i still cut in my cricut a larger image that i create in the Silhouette software.
It will depend as Cricut will likely tell you the image is too big, so you'll need to break it into pieces or make it smaller. - Brittany
What is BULLZIP? is that on your printer or ready?
Hey Christina! Bullzip is a free download from their website. It is for PC only, whereas you can save as a PNG natively on Mac computers. Hope this helps! ---Becky
Do I understand correctly that I can make a print and cut in Silhouette, send it to Cricut Design Space and make it larger than the parameters allow in Design Space?
Hi Shirlee! You can design in Silhouette and then send it to Cricut if that is the cutting machine you have! - Dawn🙂
Do you have to buy the business edition just to send the Image to cricket design space
Hey Christina! No, you don't HAVE to have Business Edition, it's just easier. We show you a work-around in the video. Hope this helps! ---Becky
Is the business edition a one time charge or recurring charge?
It is a one time charge. 😊
Thanks for sharing. I’m buying the business silhouette. On sale for $89. Just starting on cricut. I have mug press and have explore 3. Does designing a mug on silhouette works on cricut cutter?
Hi Sonti! Yes! You can save your designs as PNG and SVG through the SIlhouette Studio and then upload them to Cricut to cut.
Do you pay monthly or is it $30 or $60 as a one time purchase?
Hi there! For the Silhouette Business Edition it's a one time purchase - Dawn
Good evening can you curve your words in silhouette
Hi Patrice! I have just the tutorial for you from our Design School: designbundles.net/design-school/how-to-create-text-to-path-in-silhouette-studio - Dawn 😊
I purchased the business edition in hopes of using it with my cricut maker, however, when I save a design to svg on my desktop it advises me that it will appear as dots and sure enough when I uploaded the design to cricut and went to cut that's exactly what it does it puts little dots on the card stock. Can someone help me with this.
Hey Pat! Can you please send an email to mail@designbundles.net and we can help with that! - Dawn
What is GLYPHS??
Hey Christina! Glyphs are special characters included with certain fonts. Check out this video, it should help! Hope this helps! ---Becky

Hey Becky, so i have a Silhouette cutter and have created a design in Silhouette studio, but I'm want to send the file to my daughter who has a Cricut cutter. I've watched this tutorial, but when i go to save it as an SVG, I'm not given that option... only Silhouette Studio V3,V2 or GSP. HELP!!
Hello!
It will depend what version of Silhouette you have. In order to save as SVG from Silhouette you will need Business Edition.
Christmas as passed. Did Santa bring you a MacBook for Christmas? PLEASE SAY YES YES
Hey Christina, YES! I'm still learning how to use it but hope to have more Mac tutorials in the future. Hope this helps! ---Becky
Can you use file from design space and edit in silhouette studio and cut with the cameo 4, there is a file I want to use its galentine gift bag but I don't have a cricut cutting machine...can you please help me.
Hi there! Cricut Design Space doesn't have the ability to save an SVG to be opened within other program. Our apologies!
I’ve been doing this for years! I follow PattyAnnesPlace
Awesome Tammy! ---Becky
What is I want to transfer from Design Space to Silhouette?
We have a video for that also! I'll link it below. Hope this helps! ---Becky

I'm trying to find the one under legacy and I don't have that option. Please help
Can this software be used on an I pad?
Hi Becky I’ve tried this when I try to save a file as svg I only get two options in drop down menu they are sil version v 2 and 3 can you advise please.
Hey Sue! You will need the Business Edition upgrade to save as an SVG. If you have purchased BE already, you may just need to reactivate your code (can be found in your Silhouette account). Hope this helps! ---Becky
Hi Becky I only have DE so thank you for replying to my question. Looking forward to more videos. Xxx
What pattern did you fill your name with?
I want to design in design space but cut on cameo 4,, can this be done
You can! However you'd need to take a screen grab of the file since you cannot export SVG files from Cricut. - Brittany
How can I hook up my explorer 2 with my phone?
Hi Tonya! Cricut does have an app that can be used with your phone! - Dawn
