How Do I Cut the Outer Edge in Silhouette Cameo?

Cutting the outer edge of a vinyl design with a Silhouette Cameo can be tricky. The process involves using the right settings and ensuring that your machine is calibrated correctly. Fortunately, cutting the outer edge of a design with a Silhouette Cameo is an easy process once you understand the steps.

Before you begin, it’s important to ensure that your Silhouette Cameo is calibrated correctly. When your machine is properly calibrated, it can accurately cut in straight lines and curves.

To set up your machine, use the Calibration Tool found in the Silhouette Studio software. Once you’ve completed this step, it’s time to select the appropriate settings for cutting your vinyl design.

For cutting vinyl designs with a Silhouette Cameo, you should use a Standard Cut setting with a blade depth of 3 or 4 and a speed setting of 8. It’s also important to select either a Standard Mat or an Auto-Adjust Mat in order to get accurate cuts on your material. Once you have chosen all of your settings, you can place your design on the cutting mat and load it into the machine.

Cutting The Outer Edge:

When cutting the outer edge of your design, it’s important to move slowly and carefully. This will ensure that you get an accurate cut on the edge of your vinyl material.

Begin by slowly running the blade along one side of your design until you reach the corner. Then, take a pause before continuing along another side until you reach another corner.

Once all four sides have been cut, check to make sure that there are no jagged edges or uneven lines in your design. If everything looks good, then you’ve successfully cut out the outer edge of your vinyl design with a Silhouette Cameo!

Conclusion:

Cutting out an outer edge on vinyl designs using a Silhouette Cameo is relatively easy if done correctly. Start by calibrating your machine and selecting appropriate settings for cutting vinyl material such as blade depth and speed.

Then slowly move along each side of the design until all four sides are complete while taking care not to cut too quickly or too slowly. Once all four sides have been cut, check for any jagged edges or uneven lines before removing from the mat – and congratulations – You have successfully cut out an outer edge using a Silhouette Cameo!
