How Do I Cut Large Words in Silhouette Cameo?

Getting the perfect shape for your project can be a challenge when using a Silhouette Cameo machine. Many times, cutting large words or phrases can be difficult because of the limited space of the cutting mat. Fortunately, with a few simple steps, you can easily cut large words and phrases in Silhouette Cameo.

The first step is to design your phrase or word in the Silhouette Studio software. When designing, make sure to use larger font sizes and a thicker stroke so that the words will be more visible when they are drawn on the cutting mat. Additionally, you should use an outline font, which will prevent any lettering from being cut off by the blade.

Once you have finished designing your phrase or word, it is time to place it on your cutting mat. To do this, click on “Cut” in the Silhouette Studio software.

This will bring up a dialogue box with several options for placement on your cutting mat. Choose “Custom” and then select “Word Art” from the drop-down menu.

Now you will be able to adjust the size of your phrase or word by dragging it to fit within the available space on your cutting mat. You may also need to adjust the placement of each letter by using the anchor points on each letter. Once you have finished adjusting each letter’s size and placement, click “OK” to save your changes.

Finally, you are ready to begin cutting! Make sure that your blade is set at an appropriate depth for cutting vinyl or paper and then press “Go” in the Silhouette Studio software. Your machine should now begin drawing out each letter of your phrase or word onto your cutting mat.

In Conclusion, with just a few simple steps, you can easily cut large words and phrases in Silhouette Cameo. By designing with larger font sizes and thicker strokes as well as using an outline font, placing your phrase or word onto your cutting mat correctly and setting an appropriate blade depth – you should have no problem getting perfect shapes for all of your projects!
