One of the most popular features of this machine is its ability to trace images from photographs or other graphic files, allowing users to easily reproduce intricate artworks. With a few simple steps, you can learn how to fill in a traced image in Silhouette Cameo.

Step 1: Set up your Silhouette Cameo machine according to the instructions that came with it. Ensure that the cutting mat is securely attached and properly aligned with the cutting blade, and that the cutting blade is set at the appropriate depth for the material you wish to use.

Step 2: Select an image from your computer that you want to trace. Transfer it onto your cutting mat by sending it directly from your computer or by using a USB connection. Once you have transferred the image onto your cutting mat, secure it with some masking tape.

Step 3: Open up Silhouette Studio and select “Trace” from the top menu bar. This will open up a new window where you can select which parts of the image you want to trace. Use your mouse or stylus pen to draw around any areas that you would like to include in your tracing project.

Step 4: After selecting all of the areas in which you would like to trace, click “Apply” and then “Cut” from the top menu bar. This will activate your Silhouette Cameo machine, which will then begin tracing your selected areas.

Step 5: Once tracing is complete, carefully remove any excess material from around the traced lines using scissors or tweezers. Then use a piece of transfer paper to move your traced design onto another piece of material.

Step 6: Apply fabric paint or markers along the edges of each traced line in order to fill them in with color. You can also use fabric glue or glitter if desired.

Allow time for paint/glue/etc. to dry before removing transfer paper.
