yowzer... I ot a cameo 4 plus yesterday specifically to cut fabric. (Rotary blade coming today) but I worked 2 days trying to get this to cut. Your tip on switching to rachet blade made all the difference. Also your tip on cutting twice. THANK YOU
You're so cute - I love your video. You're instructions are clear and the demo's & props make it easy to follow what you're doing. I don't have a cutter or do this craft but would consider it just to learn from you! I'm going to check out more of your video's.
Thanks so much for this great video. I just heard about Terial Magic last month but did not know how to use it. Now I do!! I have not used my Silhouette for fabric cutting, even though that was one of my thoughts when I got it. GREAT VIDEO!!
This would be me if I ever gave a tutorial, I hate any type of public speaking. 10 minute video would be 5 minutes of uhhhh, ummm, but like, okay and talking waaaay too fast.
Thank you. Great tutorial. Just ordered a Silhouette Fabric Blade. I checked the written tutorial out to find out what cut settings are needed (especially when adding to the thickness with Heat n Bond) on the Cameo 3; then realized maybe it isn't necessary when using the Silhouette Fabric Blade. Is this assumption correct? Anyone?
If I were you, I would not take the heat bond paper off and put it on the mat while cutting the fabric so that the adhesive is not sticking to the mat afterward. I just wondering if its possible to be done this way, after cutting is over, then peel the heat bond paper off last? Is there a reason why you have to remove the paper off? I would still like to know why. I am still researching about which cameo because I want to work around with fabric and leftover fabric as much I can. Big thanks if you have free time to reply. Much appreciated.
Do you have any videos on how to use the printable heat transfer vinyl? I’ve watched some videos but when you print the picture out and load it into the machine how does it know where to cut?
I was interested in Terial Magic since I saw it at CHA videos and this is a great demo, thank you! The way it cut the tail is impressive. Does Terial Magic was off and maybe then the piece of cloth starts having frills when you don't use the heat and bond..lets say, if you make a flower?
Apologies for answering this so many years later, but I'm answering in case someone else wonders. Terial Magic does wash out, and the edges of the fabric will start to fray. However, even if you use something like Heat n Bond (or any kind of stabilizer/fusible), you'll still get fraying when you do raw-edge applique. Using a stabilizer will lessen that fraying, though. I'd suggest sewing around the edge of any applique to both secure it AND stop the fraying. If you can't sew, just be aware that the lifetime of the applique will be lessened. I'm a quilter far more than a Silhouette user, so fabric is my "thing." ;)
@@SmittenKitten. What an excellent answer, thank you. I never could buy Terial Magic because they don't sell it in Spain and because shipping costs from the USA are terribly expensive, I founda similar product here but haven't tried it jet. We all have many plans to make but a short time to be able to! I appreciate your concise and interesting explanation, it is never late when it is interesting!
@@Fancylooks Oh, wow! Well, thank you! This made my day! I totally understand about project ideas being made, then put away for "later," and "later" becomes years... Haha! Another note is that it's a good idea to prewash fabrics that will go on garments that will be washed. Cottons will shrink between 3-5%, which might not sound like a lot, but makes a huge difference when you're doing a small applique. If you don't want to prewash, spray the fabric with a light spritz of water, let it absorb into the fabric for a minute or so, then hit it with a hot iron (I hate prewashing, and just do this). If the brand you bought doesn't work the way you like, and you ever need someone to ship you some Terial Magic, I'd be more than willing! I hope you're having an amazing weekend!
@@SmittenKitten. The idea to substitute prewash is excellent, thank you, you are very good at explaining, did you consider to make videos yourself? I bet you have a lot of experience to share. Thank you for your offer about shipping Terial Magic, some years ago I asked a crafts shop I used to collaborate with if they could import it, but they were not interested because they said that in Spain nobody knows about that product so nobody would buy it, I offered to make videos in exchange to promote it but it didn't happen. Right now I am not making videos about crafts anymore, I had to switch to drawing because those videos work, craft videos got me poor results, so I am even having less time to make craft projects since I have to concentrate on drawing. This is a pity because I really would love to continue sharing crafts.
@@Fancylooks What a shame!! It's strange how the RU-vid algorithm works (or doesn't work, in many cases) as I think people are probably more interested in crafting now more than ever due to the dire situation the world has been under (and continues to be under). I have considered making videos, but I'm unsure of SO MANY THINGS! I also have extreme camera-shyness! So that's a problem... Haha! I wish I could draw. I can copy pretty well, but I can't create from scratch. I have such an appreciation for people who are able to create things from their mind.
I have a question Do you have to spray that stuff on there? I want to put some fabric on a ornament and I won't be washing the fabric after. Could I put transfer paper on there to keep it stable? Also what heat press do you have and where did you get it?
If I want the fabric to stay stiff after cutting should I still use the Terial Magic or would Elmer’s glue dilution be better? If I do stiffen with Elmer’s, is it safe with the silhouette?
Thanks so much for this video. I know this is unrelated but how did you achieve your Haircolor? I’m trying to get to that shade but keep pulling too much brass
I have a difficulty on 4 wat stretch fabric for gymnastics leotards. Does it work like in this video? What stick materiaal do u sur on the back. Didn't get that
Sorry...as u feed the material into machine it should stop at the rollers, if it doesnt then you need to push the gripper leaver down , then press a button that will feed it automatically. its all in the manual, or easier yet google it....ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2otN1_s9hcI.html just click on the link...
I've watched this video repeatedly but am still having problems. I notice you cut your fabric much bigger than the zebra - is this because you can't determine where the Cameo will put the cut lines? My cameo seems to be getting the first cut right and subsequent cuts are an inch and a half down towards the bottom of the matt. Is that normal??? Also, had to replace my matt and new matt is super sticky - it is taking off all the heat and bond when I pull the backing off. Did I apply the heat and bond incorrectly?
You cut the fabric larger than what you need so it doesn't bunch up if the mat isn't sticky enough. If your mat is pulling off the heat n bond then it sounds like you need to iron it a bit longer. Hope this helps
Followed instructions, (yes I interfaced/stabilized) silhouette says “registration mark sensor error.” They are turned off in software. Ratchet blade selected and loaded. No media outside of cutting area. Seems like everyone focuses on the interfacing instead of the silhouette process itself. Four hours later and I’m still mystified at how anyone has gotten this to work.
@@lindaleaven6947 Thanks for the suggestion! Even though this was forever ago, I was curious and dug out my silhouette to give it a try. Unfortunately that did not solve the problem. I even tried a basic square that was a preloaded design in silhouette studio. I also updated to the latest version, triple checked my loading, and nothing works. Still shows registration sensor error. So strange because I’ve done non registration mark designs many times with vinyl and other materials, my machine doesn’t seem to like fabric specifically. Thanks for the suggestion anyway!
'''OMG'''... SHE DID SO MUCH TALKING THAT IN ORDER FOR ANYONE CAN SEE HER CUT ANY FABRIC IS ALL THE WAY AT THE END OF HER VIDEO!!! ... WOW/// TOO MUCH TALKING!!!!!!!!!!!!! .. I AM PULLING MY HAIR OUT!!! ...LOL
