Then, choose the SVG file that you just converted and click “Open. “

Step 3: Cut Out Your Design

Now that the file is uploaded, it’s time to cut out your design. Select the image in Design Space and click “Make It” so that it will appear on the mat. Adjust any settings needed for the project and then press “Go” on the machine.

Conclusion:

With just a few simple steps, anyone can open a Silhouette file in their Cricut machine with ease. All it takes is converting the original file into an SVG format, uploading it into Design Space, and then cutting out the design on the machine itself.
