Iron-on transfers are a great way to quickly and easily customize clothing, fabric accessories, and more. If you have a Silhouette Cameo machine, you can use it with iron-on transfer paper to create unique designs. The process is easy and only requires a few simple steps.

Step 1: Gather your materials. You’ll need the iron-on transfer paper of your choice, a cutting mat for the Silhouette Cameo machine, the Silhouette Cameo itself, a computer with design software installed, and an iron.

Step 2: Choose your design. You can either purchase premade designs or create your own using the design software that comes with the Silhouette Cameo machine. Once you have chosen your design, open it in the software and size it as desired.

Step 3: Set up your Silhouette Cameo machine. Place an appropriate size cutting mat in the machine bed and line up one corner of the iron-on transfer paper with this corner. Make sure the paper is firmly in place before securing it with tape or magnets on all four corners so that it won’t move while cutting.

Step 4: Cut your design. Load the mat into the Silhouette Cameo machine and click “send” in order to begin cutting out your design from the iron-on transfer paper.
