You gave some great information along with easy to understand directions of how to set up the machine. I just bought one, just to make clothing patches with. I am thrilled at the way it cuts. I am also doing some other paper cuts with it too. This is when I wish I more time in the day to play with it. I'm truly enjoying working with this machine. I see they are bringing out another new one in Oct. I can't wait to see how that one works. I couldn't wait that long for it because I needed the thousands of patches NOW. But if it's all that it says it is, I may sell this one and get the new one. Thanks for the great video.

@janewilkes5615 8 лет назад

I cannot tell you how much I appreciate this! Just unboxed my cameo today and trouble every step of the way with setting it up. error messages and software issues. Your tutorial was so encouraging. I kept referring back to it and plowing ahead. It's done and I'm excited! Will definitely be watching for more content from you!

Thaaaaaank you for the video I was having some troubles getting the blade down. I thought it was not cutting because the blade was not sharp enough so I chose 5 and almost cut through the mat. :-) I am just happy that it works!!! I have been cutting all the shapes in the library. Super excited!!

@jerylleamon1446 6 лет назад

Ken thank you for this video. What I am trying to find is I set up my Cameo 2 last night and everything is working great except it isn't cutting. There is a small white piece on the blade that I can't tell if it's to be removed. The white piece with the red arrow is still on but the other is like a cover. I don't think the blade can fit thru that little hole in the cover but before I remove it and ruin something I would like your expertise! Thank you!

Do u recommend the cricut, scan n cut or cameo! It’s my first machine.

@Noone-xh8tp 9 лет назад

hi Ken, thanks for the videos, they are great, I just got my new silhouette cameo, hope I love it, I'm a newbie at all this, I jut wanted to make stencils. I found I had to do the software update to get all 100 free downloads. When I did the firmware, I went to unzip it gave me a quick peek at the firmware software, then disappeared. It will not open. I will contact support today. I was making my own stencils with a woodburner (overheated my eye) & a role of clear plastic shelving paper. If you think about felt, it would be the same accept plastic, do you think the silhouette will cut that? Thanks again Ken.

@chanaewilson3353 8 лет назад

Hello, I really like your videos and the way you explain things!! I'm just purchased my silhouette cameo and I was wandering if you could please make a video on how to make wood bubbles for photo booth props and word signs & photo booth props.

How do I get my svg's on a hard drive to plug into my usb port. I have tons of svg but cant figure out how to get them on a usb drive just in case I don't have my computer.

@evanhamaker 9 лет назад

Hi I purchased the silhouette Cameo and I did step by step set up but for some reason it won't let me continue the whole process. So I print by design off my cameo. The set up did not complete so is there a malfunction with the cameo I have?

@Judy2aT 9 лет назад

Hi Ken, Great Videos. I had been wanting to get the SC, but hadn't looked to much into it, until now (when I could afford one) which is how I found your videos. As I was surfing through videos (about the SC), I started running across horror stories of multiple problems with the blades giving out, not cutting at all, the matts slipping, things like that. However, when I watched your video comparing the SC to the Cricket Explore, both machines seem to cut with ease. I guess my question is, should I be concerned? I know there's not a product out there that will make everyone happy (all of the time), but I read enough of them that I am starting to wonder. Thanks so much, Judy

@KensKreations 9 лет назад

Judy T I love my cricut explore.

@savannah58 9 лет назад

will they continue to update the orignal cameo? Most of the time when something new comes the original doesn't receive any knew updates

@KensKreations 9 лет назад

@bobreichel 7 лет назад

I'm looking at the Silhouette Cameo and one of the questions I have is how long of a vinyl will it cut out on in other words it may do what I think 13 inches wide but how long can I have a piece in there to cut

@nicoleanillo7953 9 лет назад

thanks for he advice but I decided to go with the silhouette cameo because its overall cheaper to get the designs and I also got the new version

@KensKreations 9 лет назад

Nixies enjoy your purchase it is a great machine and you will love it!~

@shmuzzio1 8 лет назад

Thank you for the helpful video. A question I have is do I have to install the CD? I currently don't have a CD drive on my Mac, but I did install Silhouette Studio v3.4.427ss.

@1snico1 8 лет назад

you should never use the included CD if you can avoid it. always download the software. that goes for any product.

@sphaeramundi 7 лет назад

Hi Ken I have the cameo 2 which I love but barely got to use due to having some health issues over the year so it's pretty much brand new. Now I see a third one came out and im feeling bummed out because I get the impression that there are more new useful functions introduced in the third one than the differences between the first two. Plus I barely got to use mine. I'm a tech junkie too so I try to get the latest model of things etc. Would you recommend selling/ trading in my cameo 2 and getting the cameo 3 or are the new features really not that dramatic to warrant going through all that? Thank you, Wanda

@KensKreations 7 лет назад

@momymamapf 9 лет назад

Hi Ken: Thanks for this informative video. You are very thorough and well informed. I already have the Cricut Explorer and enjoy using it, but I was thinking of getting the Cameo as well, maybe for Mother's Day. I like that both machines offer for the most part different images. Would you recommend I get the Cameo or should I just be happy with my Explorer?

@KensKreations 9 лет назад

momymamapf i use both of my machines all the time for very different reasons.

@lyndathomas-turner1821 9 лет назад

I read through the comments before adding mine. I did seem some quieter than you earlier cameo/explore comp. But if you honestly believe the Explore cuts better, why are we here. We want the best die CUTTER. My brain still can't get clear the paying subscription and not owning files. I can PM you if you could clarify/satisfy my confusion on that issue. I am so ready to make the move to cover my E2. Thx Ken. Lynda in Utah/Provo Craft land lol {P.S. I COMMEND YOU ON YOUR CLARITY OF SPEECH} Honestly, such an uncommon practice in such a necessary venue.

@terrysquillingartcorner4520 8 лет назад

@janesfilms 8 лет назад

Hi ken, thanks for the info. I just got a brand new Cameo and have it updated & apparently ready to go but I'm having issues. It seems like I need to set it at Textured heavy cardstock and set my blade at 10 just to cut plain copy paper. I can't get it to cut through any cardstock? What is the heaviest weight paper I can cut? Do I need to put another mat under the cutting mat? So far I'm confused and disappointed. What good is this machine if I can't cut cardstock?

@KensKreations 8 лет назад

+janesfilms hmmm...something is wrong. This should not be the issue at all. Are you sure the settings are correct in the software?

@donnapayton9237 9 лет назад

After playing around with it, I found that the firmware was indeed installed, and the knocking stopped. I've cut a couple of images and the sounds are more normal now. Thanks for doing these videos

@Judy2aT 9 лет назад

Hi Ken, I took the leap and decided on the cameo. My craft is greeting cards, and after watching all your reviews (and a few others), and talking with some friends, I thought the SC was best for me. That being said, I'm having a hard time finding tutorials keyword here) "from" start and on. There are several opening and installing, but all the other videos seem to be hit and miss on "specific how tos". What I was hoping for was something that explains the tools and setting (in depth). Is there a site out there like that? I don't mind paying for classes as long as it's worth it. I just need some recommendations on some good ones.

@KensKreations 9 лет назад

Judy T A lot of people stopped using the machine do to frustration. I would recommend joining some Facebook groups for brother scan n cut

@anapanepinto3190 7 лет назад

@KensKreations 7 лет назад

Yes you will need to do the firmware update

@dhashalace 8 лет назад

Ken, i followed your directions to install my new cameo. BTW your video's are very informative. All went well until I tried to install the new firmware. The unit got to the green screen and froze up. It locked up my mac as well.. I used force quit to stop the process and now my cameo will not turn on. It is getting power as the cutter moves about half an inch back and forth and then does nothing. I tried to re install the firmware but I can't get the unit to come on. What should I do now? I'm trying to contact Silhouette America but so far no luck. Thanks for any help you can give me.

@KensKreations 9 лет назад

Valerie Kearney no it is the same software.

@JLClark2010 9 лет назад

It doesn't come with the upgraded Designers Edition..you have to pay separately. You can get the upgrade on Amazon for 1/2 the price of what's on Silhouette's website. Hope that helps!

@AmieB2005 9 лет назад

You didn't mention about the various software available through Silhouette. What exactly is bundled into the base package? Is it the Designer software or is it a less advanced version?

@jodycolman5738 8 лет назад

I just received my silhouette cameo about two weeks ago . Very excited about getting started but very intimidating. Did the upgrade. So I decided to try The vinyl it calls for The cutting tool to be on number 1 . Cut through both papers onto my cutting board then I tried card stock which calls for the cutting tool to be on 3 . Same issue . It seems like it's straining to cut & Pulling the vinyl . Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong ? Or should I call the manufacturing . HELP PLEASE 😹😹

@KensKreations 8 лет назад

+jody colman so did you change your blade depth and the material you are working with?

@meechandzavieable 9 лет назад

I am a person that likes to create invitations and sometimes I feel like I am back in first grade with all the cutting. I have been told to invest into a die cut machine. Problem is I am overwhelmed. I like to use a lot of portraits stuff. So I don't know if I should go with the Silhoutte Cameo or the Cricut Explore. Can you assist a lost overwhelmed girl that is using all this stuff for the first time?

@KensKreations 9 лет назад

MeechMeech depends on what you are looking for. If you want simple software but amazing cutting machine i would go with the cricut explore. If you want an okay machine and better software I would go with the cameo

@magggie22 9 лет назад

Hi Ken :) very good review on the new Silhouette Cameo.....I thought it sounded quieter when if first started cutting, but it looked as though it was struggling to cut, just the impression it gave me, and then when you unloaded the mat.....eek!!! there was that horrible noisey clunking noise again....that is a real turn off for me....some of the new things added are ...er...ok....but nothing really that outstanding well not for me anyway....LCD screens are a nightmare if your eyesight isnt that good...so not too ecstatic about them adding that.....I think the only reason I would buy this new machine is if I couldn't buy the cricut explore....and that is my honest opinion ..... always enjoy your reviews tutorials etc....always so clear to understand and follow so keep up the great work...and thank you for sharing this and for all the wonderful tutorials you have so kindly shared with me and so many others ...appreciate you taking time out ....Thank you :) not very keen on the silhouette software either...tracing mainly....just thought I would mention it....sorry going off topic.... why didnt they just make a new model...not an upgrade of it?..... well this is only my personal opinion of course :) Happy crafting...have a great day :) Magz :)

Have you heard if silhouette is going to be coming out with a newer model? I don't want to get a cameo if they are going to be releasing a new model some time soon.

I've just bought one to make my own stencils and now that I saw your video I can't wait to get my hands on it. I have really great expectations and I hope I didn't threw away 300 GBP on just another crappy product...

@KensKreations 9 лет назад

GorillaProduction38 Great product!

@jcraddz 8 лет назад

+GorillaProduction38 I'm thinking of buying this myself, what can you tell me about your purchase? How is it treating you

@GorillaProduction38 8 лет назад

Kens Kreations Honestly, it's pretty straightforward and it's highly improbable to brake it in pieces. It's pretty simple really and that it is where is strength comes from but also its...well... flaw. But for the money you pay it is absolutely perfect. It does things other machines do but for a much higher buck. Speaking about its flaws, I have some minor complaints, one of them being the fact that in its settings you gotta figure out exactly what kind of materials the producer had in mind when he offered his list of presets to chose from. For instance, while trying to cut a stencil out of a transparent sheet I have accidentally cut through my sticky sheet below thinking that the pressure is too low for the first option so I've opted for the second one which had a greater pressure in its settings. Well, it's kinda' normal since it's such a simple machine. Another upsetting thing is that it doesn't remember your settings that you've opted for just a minute ago so once you've cut your first stencil you gotta start again and insert your personal preferences and naturally is a little frustrating if you're in a hurry. Otherwise it's a great machine. If you want to cut leather (I've tried it to cut a bad ass Triumph logo for my bike seat and it worked beautifully), go for a thicker sort and less flaky (lamb skin is a nightmare) and keep in mind that your sticky sheet will be compromised anyways so you better have a spare one prepared for other materials. Of course you can wash it with hot water and mild soap but gradually it will loose its adhesive layer. You can improvise a lot with this machine and it will take it like a champ. My advices are: take short steps when trying to cut a material for the first time, pay attention to your settings and write down the one that works like a charm (depth, pressure etc), try all sorts of materials like fabric, leather, transparent films etc and figure out which is more suitable and which isn't and always keep in mind that the machine resets itself after each finished job. If you follow my advices the limit will be your own creativity. Have fun with it

Hey there I just bought my first silhouette cameo and it's super loud, like it makes a grinding sound when I turn it on.... Is that normal?

@KensKreations 9 лет назад

Lilmisslondon83 it should sound like it is singing to you...but NOT grinding

@margaretschuster1005 9 лет назад

Today, I bought my FIRST ever Silhouette. Your instructions are excellent !!! However, I'm a little confused. With this being my first S machine, do I need to update the Firmware ??? Plus, I just subscribed to your YT channel. THANKS !!!

@KensKreations 9 лет назад

margaret schuster yes you need to update firmeware!

@margaretschuster1005 9 лет назад

Kens Kreations THANKS !!! for your quick response. Now, I can get my S in working mode.

@pallavimore1638 9 лет назад

Hi Ken I have recently purchased SC and I find that even though I load the mat in a straight position, the mat gets disorineted during the cutting process ( it goes in all directions/gets tilted etc) and then the design is not cut properly. I am a new user to cameo, not sure what is wrong?

@KensKreations 9 лет назад

Pallavi More sounds like a gear issue. call the company and get a new one

@michellesalvati777 9 лет назад

Pallavi More this happened to me as well and it was so frustrating!! i moved the right roller in and it stopped doing that tho, may want to give that a shot. i noticed when i use the mat as well it sometimes does that so i really never use the mat when i am used HTV and vinyl.

@tammylaplante4111 9 лет назад

I just bought a new Silhouette Cameo and it is scheduled to arrive on Friday. Will I need to update the firmware as soon as I get it, even with it being brand new?

@KensKreations 9 лет назад

Tammy LaPlante yes it will be the first thing you will need to do.

@tammylaplante4111 9 лет назад

Kens Kreations Thank you!

@tammylaplante4111 9 лет назад

Kens Kreations Is the new firmware 1.14?

@ariautumn1489 9 лет назад

Hi Ken!! I just received my first ever Cameo today and your video has been a great help! I'm following it step by step but I came across a great disappointment when my Cameo only downloaded 50 free images and not 100. I have never owned a cameo or any other cutting machine and I was hoping that you might be able to help me with this :) Thanks again for all of your videos they are very informative!

@KensKreations 9 лет назад

Ari Autumn Yes I can!! you can either call Silhouette Cameo or you can go to your preference option (gear in the right lower corner) and under preferences it states "restore my original 50 images"

@ariautumn1489 9 лет назад

Kens Kreations Hi Ken! I finally received my 100 free images!! After e-mailing Silhouette they referred me to this link: www.silhouetteamerica.com/faq/solution/initial-50-images-missing-from-library First I upgraded to the latest version of the software and then followed the steps in the link. I hope this information can help someone out in the future! Thanks again for everything!!!

@KensKreations 9 лет назад

Ari Autumn Thanks for the site. I will update my video!!!

@fredericahunt4138 9 лет назад

Its my first cameo and my computer will not go through with the installation. Do you know why that could be? I have Windows XP. I turned my firewall off and that didn't work.

@KensKreations 9 лет назад

Frederica Hunt Not sure. Have you called customer service?

@debkeller77 8 лет назад

Ken, do you have a video for the Cameo 3? Are you working on one?

@KensKreations 8 лет назад

I have not been given the option to buy one yet and silhouette did not respond to me

@debkeller77 8 лет назад

I'm sorry to hear that. Hopefully you will get one soon. I love your videos!

@KensKreations 8 лет назад

+Deb Keller last time over a year ago they stated I was not a big enough influence. So once it releases in August I will be making it right away. A lot of people are requesting it
