Thank you so much!!! I need a mat TODAY and Wal-Mart is the closest store as I live in the country!! They only have Cricut mats so this ticks has saved the day!!🎉🎉🎉
Thank you!! Thank you!! I just switched from a cricut to a silhouette and i have some brand new cricut mats that I'd like to use. Definitely trying this tomorrow 💖
Thank you, you're a life saver! I bought a set of deTAPE mats as they were a lot cheaper, but they're metric, and I was having to align my material over the numbers, as a workaround. Then I was looking to see if you could adjust the margins of the mat in the software and stumbled on your video. Such an easy solution, plus it means that your adhesive goes to the edge of the material, instead of your material overhanging the adhesive and risk it getting crumpled. Thank you so much! 😍
I bought a 3 pack of Nicapa mats on Amazon for my Cameo 4, and noticed it was larger and the blade cut into the top of it with the test function. Since it is larger than the Silhouette mat, I will try cutting it down like you did in this video! Thanks.
perfect I have been wondering if I can use a cricut mat with my silhouette (fyi I have the orig silhouette and its never given me any issues.. still going strong!)
For sure! Now a days there are more inexpensive options for silhouette mats but I know if I need one in an emergency and have to buy one local, sometimes all I can find are the cricut ones so it for sure helps! That’s awesome to hear your OG cameo is still rolling strong, that one is for sure a beast!
the 15" cameo I just bought only came with the 15". your thoughts on how to cut a cricut mat using that as a template? (without ruining my silhouette mat.)
This video was made years ago, now there are so many alternatives to silhouette brand mats that are made to fit the silhouette. Here’s one as an example: amzn.to/3kQi0hv
I do not own a silhouette mat. is it possible to know how much to cut off on the top and bottom left and right? for those of us who don't have the silhouette mat? TIA
1/16th of an inch from the left and right, 1/4" from the top and bottom. But keeping the line straight and square is very important and difficult to do with such a small amount to cut off, so be careful and take your time!
I’m not sure, I don’t own a cricut so I’ve not tried it. I do know there are off-brand cricut mats available on amazon, maybe one of those would work for you?
