Cutting flocked vinyl on a Silhouette Cameo is an easy and straightforward process that yields beautiful results. This type of vinyl is perfect for creating unique, textured designs for your craft projects.
The flocked vinyl has a velvet-like feel, which adds depth and dimension to your projects. To get the best results when cutting flocked vinyl on your Silhouette Cameo machine, there are a few simple steps you’ll need to follow.
Step 1: Start by setting up your machine. Load the cutting mat with the flocked vinyl, making sure it’s securely in place. Set the blade settings to 6 and adjust the speed to 3.
Step 2: In order to get a precise cut, use transfer tape or transfer paper to hold the flocked vinyl in place while you cut it. Place the transfer tape or paper over the top of the flocked vinyl and press it down firmly.
Step 3: Now you’re ready to load your design into Silhouette Studio. Make sure that you select “flocked vinyl” as your material type when setting up your design. Once you’ve finished setting up your design, select “Send” from the top menu bar and watch as your Silhouette Cameo cuts through the material.
Step 4: After the cutting is complete, remove any excess material from around the edges of your design using scissors or an X-acto knife.
Step 5: Remove the transfer tape or paper from around your design and apply it to whatever surface you’re decorating – be it a window, wall, fabric or any other surface!
By following these simple steps, you can easily cut beautiful flocked designs with your Silhouette Cameo machine! The velvet-like texture of flocked vinyl adds an extra dimension to any project and can be used in a variety of ways – from window decals to t-shirt designs.
