This is the most comprehensive and detailed video I’ve seen in over a year. I learned so much, and far easier than in the past. If you don’t learn or retain even simple software lesson, like me, this is where you want to learn Silhouette Software! Thank you and please don’t stop teaching! I’m just getting started with vinyl cutting and tumblers. Finally starting to get more comfortable
Hey Raymond! I'm so glad the video was helpful for you! We gladly take video requests if there is anything else you would like to see! Thanks for stopping by! ---Becky
Thanks so much for another great video Becky! I’ve always struggled with trace by colour and your explanation has helped greatly. I also like learning keyboard shortcuts and the one for duplicate is one I’m sure to use a lot! 😃
Awesome video! I learned a lot. I just don’t understand why you filled with color. And on one of the fonts you had 2 different colors. I’m very new to the silhouette but it just cuts right? It doesn’t print colors does it?
Hey Joni, I have not because the Glowforge software already works great with photos. But I will certainly add this to my list of experiments! Thanks for the recommendation! ---Becky

Im doing an embroidered small doll design too small to sew freely on machine lots of curves etc. so Now I have figured out all the embroidered details. what I want to to is cut around the finished embroidered design out about 1/16 to 1/8 inch out from the design. so how do I offset the cutting line from the embroidered item/design. Also how to make sure of the placement so the two match since not much room for error and end up cutting my embroidery. Thanks a lot Patty
Hey Patty! Do you mean you want to embroider your design and then cut around your finished design with the Cameo? If so, I have a video that may help you get the best placement. I works probably test with cardstock first also. Hope this helps! ---Becky th-cam.com/video/GbvgqSs2Zms/w-d-xo.html
How do you trace white images that wont trace because they are too light- example a lot of nitwit images have white picket fences and things like that and I cant get them to trace?
Depending on the images, I would suggest trying Trace by Color (Designer Edition feature) and possibly the Invert feature (Image Effects panel). Hope this helps! ---Becky
How would you trace an image on dark shirt transfer that has 3 shapes that make up the image leaving space in between each shape? how do you trace to cut so that the white part of transfer doesn't press onto the shirt? tia :)
Hey Tammy! I'm sorry, but I'm having a hard time wrapping my brain around you question. Is it possible to link me to a photo? You can also find me on Facebook in the group I'm linking below, you can post a photo and tag me (Becky Dykes) and I'll do my very best to help you! facebook.com/groups/beginsilhouettecameo
Hey Sedira! I actually don't recommend using Trace and Detach because it can cause the inside of your design not to trace, it just keeps the outer most trace (like if you were tracing for a sticker or a print and cut design). Hope this helps! ---Becky
Okay, im.so confused. Please help. I still have a Cameo 2 and never had a problem.with tracing any svgs, pngs, etc I have the Cameo 4 and wondering why does it require purchasing an upgraded software to trace the same thing i trace for free in Cameo 2??????? Please help. Thanks. Cause I'm wondering should I just keep my cameo.2 and return the cameo.4. Thanks
Hey there! No worries, the Cameo 2 and the Cameo 4 use the same exact software, so any features you enjoy with the Cameo 2 for tracing will be the same for the Cameo 4. Hope this helps! ---Becky
Hey Chianti! You can import it the same way you would any SVG, I have a video on importing those into the software. Hope this helps! ---Becky th-cam.com/video/H-l3Fu_9zAM/w-d-xo.html
Hey Debi! Great question! You have the basic tracing features in the basic edition of Silhouette Studio, you only need to upgrade to Designer Edition to unlock the trace by color option. Hope this helps! ---Becky
@@DesignBundles @debimcoy You can go to Swing,com and purchase the business edition after you have downloaded the free version. It was only $48 at Christmas and it is all yours for life. The program is AMAZING!
Hey Tiffanie! Happy to help! I've added a video recently on Compound Paths, also, maybe this will help a little more. Thanks for stopping by! ---Becky th-cam.com/video/ZABdAoCrZhY/w-d-xo.html

Wow! Great instruction! This opened up a whole new avenue of creativity for me. Thank you, Becky!
Thanks ! This one is definitely going into my library for near future use...

Thanks Kate!! I'm so glad that you enjoy the videos and they are helpful to you ❤️ I appreciate you watching and your kind words have made my day!

I use adobe capture software on my ipad for pictures.
I am upgrading my silhouette what is the difference between designer and business?
Thank you
Great teachings
Thank you Mojisola! ---Becky
what file types does Silhouette allow you to import for use with the trace tool, please?
Hey Becky!! This would be great for the Glowforge or any laser product. Have you tried it yet?
Hey Joni, I have not because the Glowforge software already works great with photos. But I will certainly add this to my list of experiments! Thanks for the recommendation! ---Becky
Thanks. Where did you get that shelf behind you with all your color vinyl.

@@DesignBundles yes would love to see thank you
When I try to delete the background I go to send and it says that the tool is not available or something it doesnt work
Why don’t I have the trace by color dropper icon? I only have the butterfly looking one. I don’t have the magnet either.
Trace by colour is available in Designer Edition and up. Not available in basic.

Using trace n detach you can get the perfect stencil
Hey Sedira! I actually don't recommend using Trace and Detach because it can cause the inside of your design not to trace, it just keeps the outer most trace (like if you were tracing for a sticker or a print and cut design). Hope this helps! ---Becky
@@DesignBundles yes, thank you. I meant using what was left after detaching as an actual tracing stencil. If that makes sense
@@DesignBundles hello what version of silhouette are you using ? i cant find the color tracing in 4.1 and 4.5
Okay, im.so confused. Please help. I still have a Cameo 2 and never had a problem.with tracing any svgs, pngs, etc
I have the Cameo 4 and wondering why does it require purchasing an upgraded software to trace the same thing i trace for free in Cameo 2??????? Please help. Thanks. Cause I'm wondering should I just keep my cameo.2 and return the cameo.4. Thanks
Hey there! No worries, the Cameo 2 and the Cameo 4 use the same exact software, so any features you enjoy with the Cameo 2 for tracing will be the same for the Cameo 4. Hope this helps! ---Becky
Okay, so I don't need to upgrade to business edition for tracing?
Nope, not at all. Regular tracing is still available with the basic edition.
@@DesignBundles Great, thank you
How do you get the image from picsvg into Silhouette Studio after downloading the svg?
Hey Chianti! You can import it the same way you would any SVG, I have a video on importing those into the software. Hope this helps! ---Becky
th-cam.com/video/H-l3Fu_9zAM/w-d-xo.html
So...you have to have Business Edition or higher to do all of these things?
Hey Debi! Great question! You have the basic tracing features in the basic edition of Silhouette Studio, you only need to upgrade to Designer Edition to unlock the trace by color option. Hope this helps! ---Becky
@@DesignBundles @debimcoy You can go to Swing,com and purchase the business edition after you have downloaded the free version. It was only $48 at Christmas and it is all yours for life. The program is AMAZING!
