Hello Becky, do you have like Design Bundle U or some plans where a beginner can see videos to get started

I have had my Cameo 3 for 2 years and have never used it, it intimidates me for some reason. I'm glad I found your youtube channel.

I loved that you touched the tips about the test cutting.. I would like to add the alwaays save scraps of the same color for just doing test cuts.. aslo I wanted to mention that all colors of the oracal 651 vinyles differ in thickness and so you test cut for each color.. take notes of good successful cuts.. like what force, speed, and blade dept. put it on a postanote and stick it on each roll

Hi Becky. You are definitely the best on this channel when it comes to teaching. You are calm and objective. I often scroll away, perhaps too many episodes because that person is loud, stressful and does not have the ability to capture my interest. I'm brand new to this world. I'm still standing and doubting which machine to buy. I love to create, make nice cards and also do other things. After listening to you in several episodes, I have decided on a Cricut maker 3. It's your merit. I hope to see you more in the future precisely because of your personality and incredibly good ability to teach. Thanks Becky!

Thank you so much for your honest opinions! I have had Cricuts for a few years but I really wanted to try a cameo for multiple reasons (design space issues but mostly curiosity, tbh). My cameo 4 arrived yesterday and I had watched your unboxing video when I ordered it. I decided to copy you and do a decal. The first two attempts were impossible to weed (second cut, I adjusted the cut from 1-3) and then I finally selected cut twice. That helped but cut a little too much so I was weeding half pieces of the backing off of some of the letters. I'm definitely going to try a ratchet blade!

Have been having a hard time with cutting and want to try the ratchet blade. Did this work for you?

You are amazing. Thank you for sharing all this information.

a little about the weeding tools. although I have the cameo i do love the circit weed tool, and also I have made my own weel tools by getting wood dowel rod, cut to aout 4 to 6 inches in length. then go to the sewing section of walmart and get some big marine canvas needles, drill a small hole and then press the needle into it.. another weeding tool i like to use is a exacto blade by friskers. nice grip and it sometimes helps to make your own weed lines between words

Very helpful tips in one great video. 👍 Here are my 5 cents: Do not use JPEGs. These are only useful for screens, e.g photos and/or graphics with a background, scaling is a nuisance and edges are pixelated. Use vector graphics only (PNG*, EPS, SVG etc.), which you can scale up or down without losing any quality. (*)PNG is a bit limited

Loved the easy and understandable explanation. Thanks a million

Just playing around with the things and listening to many of yall who are so kind enough to help ppl like myself- giving details and how tos!! Much appreciated!!! Thanks for your help!!!

I'm new to silhouette. I've always been a Circut gal, but I'm hearing great things about Silhouette. Your review on the Silhouette made me change over.

Great video, awesome content !!!

Thank you so much for letting me know that there is a problem with the blade. My daughter has experience with the version 3 and she has been teaching me how to use my 4 and we have wreaked our brains using different types of papers and not getting the cut . We finally said let’s get a new blade it couldn’t hurt to try to see if that’s the problem. Yes it was the blade.

I have wanted to get a Silhouette and related software for a long time, but I felt ugg...this is going to be a hugh learning curve. Now I know the great content is available along with customers support. The ability to export designs is HUGH. In my opinion this is a game changer. As a "diehard" Cricut owner this is hard to admit.

The software won't give you any commercial use rights when it comes to designs, it only unlocks additional features to use with your machine.

I got my portrait 3 last week and because I have no vinyl at home I jumped in making shadow boxes. I wasn't aware those were even a thing! Bonus: you just need paper and a printer. Possibly even just paper and color stuff in later. I found a design for free in the silhouette shop. So I've been using that, testing different sizes and modifying shapes and stuff.

I'm interested in using my Cameo 4 mostly for sticker making (die cut and kiss cut) and also begin playing with vinyl and card making... What bundle do you think would be worthwhile? Should I get the advanced blade one or is it smarter to get a basic bundle with vinyl but no extra blades? Thank you for your guidance!

Hey Karen, I have a few videos that you may find helpful. For the directional lights, you may need to load a cutting mat first before those light up, but I'm not certain, I'll have to look. The cutter across the back is your Crosscutter. I have a brief video talking about it, but I haven't mastered the exact setting needed, I just eject it a little by hand so that I know I'm not cutting into my design. kzread.info/dash/bejne/mKZlr7qkgr3QabA.html You can change some of the settings in the Preferences panel, including your design area, this may help you. kzread.info/dash/bejne/X4R2xcOLcaS7kc4.html Hope this helps! ---Becky
