How Do You Make Weeding Lines in Silhouette Cameo?

Making weeding lines with Silhouette Cameo is a great way to get precision with crafting projects. This machine is essentially a computerized cutting machine that can be used to cut paper, fabric, and vinyl. Weeding lines are helpful when cutting intricate designs on vinyl as they help you see where to start cutting and what to leave behind.

Getting Started

The first step when making weeding lines in Silhouette Cameo is to open the design page in the software provided with the machine. This page will then show you an exact replication of what your design will look like when it is cut out of your vinyl material. Make sure to adjust any settings such as blade depth or size so that it matches your project needs.

Weeding Lines

Once you have adjusted all of your settings, you can begin drawing the weeding lines for your project. This is done by using the “Draw Tools” in the software provided with the machine.

You can use either straight or curved lines depending on the type of project you are creating and how intricate it needs to be. Make sure that all of your weeding lines are precise and follow along exactly with what you want to be left behind after cutting.

Cutting Out Your Design

Once all of your weeding lines have been drawn, it is time to start cutting out your design! Load up whatever material you are using into the machine and make sure it is secured properly before pressing “Start”. The Silhouette Cameo will then do its thing, following along with all of those weeding lines you drew earlier and leaving behind only what was designated to be kept in place within the design.

Conclusion
Making weeding lines in Silhouette Cameo is a great way for crafters to get precision cuts for their projects. The process starts by opening up a design page and adjusting settings such as blade depth or size before drawing in precise weeding lines using either curved or straight tools from the software provided with the machine. Once those are finished, load up whatever material you are using into the machine, press start, and watch as only designated parts remain after being cut out from the material!
