How Do I Cut Felt on My Silhouette 4?

If you’re a crafter, felt is a great material to work with. It’s easy to cut, shape, and sew and it comes in a variety of colors, textures, and thicknesses. But if you have a Silhouette 4 cutting machine, you may be wondering how to best cut felt on it.

The good news is that cutting felt on your Silhouette machine is quite simple.

The first step is to choose the appropriate blade and settings for your specific type of felt. For most types of craft felt, you’ll want to use the Deep Cut Blade and set the blade setting to 3 or 4. You will also need to adjust the speed setting to the slowest option (1) in order to get a clean cut with minimal fraying.

Once your settings are adjusted properly, it’s time to load your felt onto the cutting mat. Make sure that the design you are cutting is completely centered on the mat before sending it through the machine. Once everything is in place and secure, send your design through the machine using your desired settings.

After Cutting:

Once your felt pieces are finished being cut out, carefully remove them from the mat. It may be helpful to use tweezers or similar tools for this task as some pieces can be quite small or intricate. If any of your pieces need additional trimming or detailing work done by hand, now would be a good time to do so.
