How Do You Use Heat Transfer Vinyl on Silhouette Cameo 4?

Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV) is a material that can be used to create custom designs on fabric. The Silhouette Cameo 4 is a cutting machine that can be used to cut the vinyl into any desired shape or design. It’s easy to use and can provide professional-looking results.

To get started, you’ll need to gather the following materials: Heat Transfer Vinyl, Silhouette Cameo 4, cutting mat, computer/laptop, and a heat press. Once you have these items ready, you can begin the process of using HTV with your Cameo 4.

First, create your design in Silhouette Studio software. Once the design is complete, load the HTV onto your cutting mat.

Place it onto the cutting mat with the vinyl side facing up and secure it with masking tape or low-tack adhesive. Next, load the cutting mat onto your Cameo 4 machine.

Make sure to select “Load Media” from the machine’s settings menu before pressing “Send” and then select “Heat Transfer Vinyl” as your media type. This will ensure that your machine cuts correctly. After this step is completed, press “Send” and let the machine do its work.

Once the cutting is finished, gently remove the excess HTV from around your design and weed out any small pieces of vinyl that are not part of your design. After this step is completed, place the remaining HTV onto your fabric with a heat press set at 320°F for 15 seconds.

Finally, peel off the carrier sheet and admire your handiwork! With a bit of practice and patience you can easily use Heat Transfer Vinyl on Silhouette Cameo 4 machines to create amazing works of art.
