How Do You Cut Iron on Fabric With Silhouette Cameo?

The Silhouette Cameo is a powerful and versatile cutting machine that can be used to cut a variety of materials, including iron-on fabric. Iron-on fabric is a great way to customize clothing, accessories and other items with your own unique designs. With the Silhouette Cameo, you can easily create custom iron-on designs for your projects.

To begin, you will need to select the type of iron-on material you want to use for your project. There are several types of iron-on materials available, including heat transfer vinyl (HTV), adhesive vinyl (AV) and even specialty fabrics like sequin fabric and glitter fabric. Once you have chosen the type of material you want to use, it’s time to start cutting!

The first step in cutting iron on fabric with the Silhouette Cameo is to load it into the machine.

The Cameo has an adjustable cutting mat that allows you to easily slide your material onto it. Once your material is loaded onto the mat, use the touch screen on the front of the machine to select “Iron On” as your material type.

Next, open up your design file in Silhouette Studio software on a computer or tablet connected to the Silhouette Cameo. When ready, select “Send To Silhouette” from within the software and choose your settings such as blade depth and speed. When everything looks good, hit “Send” and watch as the Cameo cuts out your design.

Once complete, carefully remove the cutout pieces from around your design using tweezers or scissors. Finally, place your cutout onto whatever surface you are wanting to apply it too and press down firmly with an iron for around 15 seconds at medium heat.

Conclusion:

Cutting iron on fabric with a Silhouette Cameo is an easy process that anyone can do with minimal practice. With its adjustable cutting mats and user friendly software, it’s easy to create custom designs for any project quickly and easily!
