The first step is to make sure that you have all of the necessary materials. You will need a cutting mat, Silhouette vinyl, and a transfer tape. Once you have all of these materials, the next step is to prepare the vinyl for loading into the machine.

Cutting The Vinyl

Start by cutting out pieces of vinyl that are slightly larger than what you would like your design to be. You can either use scissors or a craft knife for this step. Make sure that the edges are nice and clean so that there are no rough edges when loading it into the machine.

Weeding The Vinyl

Next, weed out any excess pieces of vinyl from your design. This will make it easier for the machine to recognize and cut it correctly. Use a craft knife or a pair of tweezers for this process and be careful not to damage any of the pieces that you want to keep.

Applying The Transfer Tape

Once you have weeded out all of the extra pieces, it’s time to apply transfer tape over your design. This will help keep all of the pieces in place as they pass through the machine. Peel off a piece of transfer tape slightly larger than your design and place it over top making sure that all edges are adhered securely.

Loading The Vinyl

Now, it’s time to load your vinyl into your Silhouette Cameo 3. Make sure that the material settings are set correctly for your type of vinyl before loading it in.

Then carefully insert one end of the vinyl onto one side of the cutting mat and then slowly roll it onto the other side until it is completely loaded in. Now you can begin cutting!
