This is so informative! I have been very intimidated by the engraving tool and this gave me the confidence to try. But by far the best part for me was your amazing instruction on silhouette studio and saving files for exporting to design space! I didn’t know I could do that and you just changed my crafting game!! Thank you Karley!

The crosshatch pattern worked great. I did tighten the hatch I couldn’t see any lines skipped. I used an anodized aluminum disc. I was going to use the lines but after seeing your video you saved me time and materials. Thank you! Your coaster should say I don’t Cricut without silhouette design. 😉

Enjoyed your tutorial, especially using the silhouette software. I definitely would enjoy more of these educational videos.❤️

I love your teachings on Silhouette Studio, I downloaded it and tried to self teach I ended up giving up. I would love to see more. You are very talented, thank you for great content.

This is a great tutorial! I just bought a Cricut maker and it is great to know there is another design space!

Yet again - another brilliant tutorial! To the point and easy to follow/understand. Very much appreciated - thank you.

Love how you showed how to use the silhouette software. I have both machines, so for me, this was fantastic! Great video!

Thank you for this tutorial! I was going crazy trying the replicate the hatches in Illustrator, but this convinced me I just needed to take the plunge on Silhouette Studio. In fact, I have an engraving project going right now. I'm excited to see how it turns out!

Perfectly taught. Precise and quick. My new go-to for help! Thank you so much.

I have a Cricut Maker and just purchased a Silhouette Cameo 4 and love to see you doing Silhouette Studio as well as Cricut Design Space! Because I’m new with Silhouette I really enjoy your video today!!

Is there a particular reason why you purchased the Cameo when you already have the Maker? Im really curious. Thanks

Great job. Really like how they turned out. Nice job.

this is AMAZING please make so many more silhouette tutorials. i just bought the business version just because of this video and i dont even have a cameo!!!

Fantastic! I'm a Silhouette Studio/Cameo 4 user and just purchased a Cricut Maker.

Thank you. I would love to learn more about Silhouette Studio

Thank you. Very thorough, quality conscious -- and appreciated.

Love the video & you showed the imperfections

Thanks Karley, really creative idea to engrave with a pattern fill. This was my first look at the Silhouette software. I would like to see more tutorials showing how to use Silhouette Studio.

This was a great, easy video to follow, even for first-time Silhouette Studio user! Thank you!

Thanks for this helpful video! I'd love more Silhouette tutorials please!

Thank you for this tutorial! All the way in Ireland and you have helped so much. I really hope Cricut become more readily available here :-)

Thanks sooo much. I use Silhouette software all the time to create art for my Cricut. I think Silhouette's software excels in the same way Cricut Maker's use of materials excel. Thanks for not making me feel like a "crafting polygamist" for using both to reach my project goals. I'm checking out the laser cutter you mentioned, too, and bookmarking your video for when I have time to engrave. I've had a Silhouette for quite a while. I bought a Cricut first, but it began mis-feeding the mat one week after the warranty ran out. That was added frustration because the machine sat unused for the first few months until I had time to sit down and learn how to use it. Cricut wouldn't extend the warranty a week, so between barely getting to use it, and no support, I went with Silhouette for my replacement. I loved Silhouette because I didn't have to buy cartridges. It's software is awesome, particularly the upgraded versions and it does things I could only do in Adobe Illustrator otherwise. However, lately, I've begun to miss not being able to use all the different materials Cricut Maker allows for, so I'm giving Cricut another chance. I bought the Maker. I've already cut fabric and I'm very happy with the results. I just hope the Maker lasts as long as my now aging Silhouette. I look forward to checking out your other videos.

Hahah "crafting polygamist!" I love that! I am happy we both enjoy the best of both worlds!!! Thanks for your kind feedback! I really appreciate it!

Thank you soooo much for this video!!! I’ve been a Cricut Fan for Years!!! There are some functions in Silhouette that I have seen lately that I love! I didn’t not know that you could save the text as an SVG and import the image into Design Space 🤯. I guess I’ll purchase the business edition. I hope that Cricut comes out with an update with some of the features you showed us!

Great tutorial. Very informative and easy to follow and understand. Haven’t gotten my maker yet but wanting to learn as much as I can before I start using it when I do get it. Subscribed and thanks again 😊

I’ve been using silhouette for near on 7 years now, and had no idea I could do some of those things 😂, I’m terrible for not using that software lol thanks for the video, I’m jumping ship and getting a maker soon! Can’t wait!!!!

If you want to get rid of the lines, use a fiberglass brush. You can put fiberglass bristles in a mechanical pencil to use it on small projects. This works on plastics. You can also use a fine file like the ones used in jewelry making or electronics. These will work for metal or wood.

Such an informative tutorial, thank you.

Just got my engraving tip last night! This tutorial was great!!! Thank you! Can't wait to try mine out!

Thank you for the tutorial. I would be very interested in learning more about how to use silhouette studio. I have been using Inkscape and it isn’t always the easiest to use. Thanks so much.

Love!

Awesome video with specific instruction for using the software....best video for the Circuit Maker I've seen in a while. Keep making videos combining both various materials and the software process. As a beginner Cricut Maker crafter, I went from not knowing how to do engraving and 25:05 minutes I went from dumb to pro. Thanks.

Very informative video def going to reference this A LOT!

Enjoyed the Silhouette tutorial. Would like to see more.

Thank you, you are a great teacher!

That looks great!!!!!

I loved the Glowforge! Of course, mine was sitting there and did nothing! So I sold it. I paid $2500 in Sept 2015 and I never received it until Dec 2017. Yes, I was one of the crazy first adopter. When I sold it, I got $2200.

I had no idea cricut could do this. Wow this is so cool. I love it. Cant wait till I know what I'm doing lol TFS

this video earned you a subscriber. You did a great job in explaining, and also were so honest in pointing out the defects. Those lines would drive me nuts; I am too much of a perfectionist like OCD overload. lol anyway, I hope cricut will fix the issue, because for my personal preference those lines ruin the project. Thank you again,

GREAT project!

Thanks Karley!

This was a fabulous video. If the lines are occurring in different areas, it makes me wonder if you load it through a second time, whether it would fix the mixed lines. Looking forward to trying this - awesome !!

This was so helpful!!! I was looking everywhere how to do a foil quil fill in letters and it would be the same technique than this engraving but this silhouette software makes it easier..would you do more tutorials on the software with tips for using it in different projects? Thsnk you!

Thanks for sharing!!

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I'm a new Cricut Maker owner. I haven't used it yet. I'm excited to get started.

Very nice, EASY to understand video. Pleasant cadence to your voice kept me interested.

Thank you for doing this. I tried to use the tool in my maker and it was a disaster. I also did not know I could use Silhoutte with Cricut. I have both. Now if I can find your blog.

Very helpful because this is brand new to me

This is a great tutorial. I would love more help with Silhouette Studio.

Thank you for the tutorial.I’m going to try this. Just wondering if you ran the engraving twice( like back to back ) ..maybe the lines would get filled in?

New sub. Thanks so much

Great tutorial..do you know if these would work as a fondant embosser as well ?

This is giving me more reasons to upgrade my Explorer to a Maker.

More Silhouette Studio tutorials!

Thanks for sharing.. Will it engrave stones or glass?

More Silhouette tutorials please.

Such a great video, thanks. I have a Silhouette and a Cricut Maker. I always love how easy it is to offset text in Silhouette. I can't understand why Cricut doesn't have an offset. I've battled with my DS and pc for over a year, because my Windows 10 pc (4gb RAM), it's just not fast enough. I have an iMac on order. Looking at the speed of yours - it should be so much better. May I ask how many gb RAM your laptop has please? Thanks in advance x

I wish you would do a video on engraving blanks and tags either the Cricut explorer. Your video was great.

Does this work for the very small keychains?

I have some acrylic blanks that are just a tad less thick than yours (2.4mm/.24cm) and I haven't tried running it through the machine, but if I just lay it on the mat and put it up to the rollers, it doesn't look like it will go under. Should I just try it? I don't want to ruin my Maker.

May I know how to fix the little line? Thank you.

I am glad you shared this with us and Cricut. It is now May 31, did Cricut get back to you?? I am not buying their machine until it's working precisely.

I followed up, but I assumed there has been limited time to test since the cricut headquarters are still observing social distancing guidelines and most employees can’t go to the office. :/ I should clarify that the engraving tool works great! In this video, I’m teaching a “hack.” I assume cricut will eventually come out with their own vector fill technology that will work. I like hacking things, but this is not recommended by cricut.

Hi Karley, Great tutorial thank you. I'm a newbie. Can you do things like this on a maker 3 with no mat? Or should I buy a mat for my maker 3? Thanks
