Hey Jenna! Don't worry, we have a great beginner video for Silhouette Studio that should help fill in a few of the blanks here. This video is a follow-up to the beginner steps. Hope this helps! ---Becky ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xDaVobfZ1dA.html
I would love to see more tutorials about designing in Silhouette Studio, it's such a powerful program and I think with all the beautiful designs and fonts from creative fabrica it would be so much fun to create something special like gifts.
Hello Becky, I have been using the program for a couple of years and even paid for the business program but I really been doing the one per page and what brought me to your page today I was tying to put multiple file onto one page on silhouette studio but I didn’t get it. Thank you so much for sharing.
New to Silhoutte Studios and this was a great video for me to get familiar with. I also have upgraded to the Business Edition. Couldn't beat the price for quality
Really great tutorial. I have a file for a 20 oz tumbler. I love the file but I want to change what is written in on it. How can I remove the words and put in my own? Example you have the one above with the sun and I want to remove I need Vitamin Sea and put in my own words. Its for a birthday gift. I am hoping you can help me. Looking forward to watching more of your awesome tutorials.
I’m pretty beginner fit silhouette studio but I’ve been using it for about a year or so now. Try importing the SVG file instead of the png file. SVG file will allow you to edit the words.
Exactly what Natasha said 😃 We hope it worked and if you're looking for more helpful crafting tips, feel free to check out our blog (www.creativefabrica.com/classes/) and Classes section on our website (www.creativefabrica.com/the-artistry/).
I am new to Silhouette, but I love your tutorials, they are a great help to me. One question I have is why do I keep getting a low resolution sign when trying to create a shirt with a pic?
That is a great question! This will happen sometimes depending on the quality of the photo. If the image is made too big it will distort the image and may appear grainy and give you the "low resolution" sign. You can also reach out to customer support at hi@creativefabrica.com and they will be happy to assist you! 😊
Such a great video everything i want to do you hit..I might just have to try silhouette studio now.. you always give the greatest tips and advice..I've watched so many and not one of them has said don't flip your project if your mirror setting is on..I know this may seem like a given, but some might not catch it..and when you ask them at least ones with thousands of subscribers you hardly ever get a comment back. I get it, but my main comment was to say thank you for the little things..they are greatly appreciated.
Hey Kristine! I'm so glad you are enjoying the videos! I love hearing when I've been able to help a fellow crafter, we are all in this together! I appreciate you and your kind words! ---Becky
Hi Becky. Love your videos. I want to print a 11 x 17 print I I only have a 8.5 printer. Would you please do a video on printing multiple sheets and joining them using Silhouette studio. Thank you
Hello! Thank you for your comment! I will be sure to let our creative team know about your suggestion! ❤️ In the meantime, in Silhouette you can adjust your mat size to your needed size and from there you should be able to print the size you need! When you go to piece the two together you want to make sure the design is not overlapping at all or you will get a line through your design.
Hello Becky. Thank you for explaining how to use Silhouette Studio for sublimating. I have a question. How would I add a text to the design if customizing tumbler. I am new to this and I don't have a Silhouette cutting machine unfortunately.
It will depend on the program you are using! 😊 In silhouette you can type out phrases using fonts you have installed on your device. What type of program are you using?
Becky, I am trying to find an answer on if I can wash a super itchy new pullover before I sublimate it or if I should wait and wash it afterward. Thanks, love your videos!
Thank you. I am learning to work with silhouette. I am used to work with ds. So i have the basic. I need to go to business edition because i need to save it svg.
Hey Angel! Silhouette Studio Business Edition is fabulous! If you have the time, definitely invest in learning it, you will love the new tools you have! Thanks for stopping by! ---Becky
You can use SVG or PNG since you will be printing and not cutting. 😊 If you use a PNG file you have the advantage of being able to change the color of the pieces, where as PNG it's already the color it's going to print.
Hey Nancy! It shouldn't, I've used Scotch and Amazon brand with good results. Perhaps try lowering the heat a little when you adhere the laminate? It may be that you need to dry the wood out, you can bake it at a low temperature in your crafting oven. ---Becky
You mentioned that you create files to sell with silhouette. I love Silhouette and want to start creating sublimation files to sell on Etsy. Do you have a video to do that and how to add watermark.
Hey Christy! What a bummer, I'll have to look into this more. I have good luck saving as a PNG, but I've never specifically looked at the DPI. Very interesting, thanks for the feedback! ---Becky
Hi Wondering if you can help. I cut a lot of vinyl decals for using to custom spray paint helmets etc and i use a silhouette studio 3 and DE Tape Flexible Surfaces Stencil Film but at the moment i use the settings blade depth 1 force 10 speed 5, but a lot of the text etc are very small and i keep finding it tears them up i keep trying different settings but can't find one that doesn't ruin the decal. i'm not sure what way to go with the settings depending on what is happening. hope this makes some sense?
Hey Scott! Sorry to hear of your cutting troubles. Unfortunately small text is always going to be a struggle. I haven't used that type of stencil material so I'm not much help, but I would start by slowing your speed down to 2 or 3, and make sure your blade is sharp. If the text is thin, you can use the offset tool to thicken it up a little. Hope this helps! ---Becky
Can you do a sublimation video on print and cut for 20 + ounce tumblers in Silhouette Studio? I can resize an image but how can I cut? Say 9.3 x 8.2 tumbler, that's where I'm kind of lost.
Hey Lisa! The great thing about Sublimation is that you don't need to cut! Just size to fit your tumbler, print, and then trim by hand or with a straight edge trimmer. Hope this helps! ---Becky
Hey Bonnie! This is very common, unfortunately. I would recommend setting up 2" boxes in Silhouette Studio and filling them with various teal and mint colors, then print and press on a spare piece of polyester. It will take some testing, but you can tweak your teal colors until you have a good color code that works for you. Hope this helps! ---Becky
Hey Amanda! You colors will always print different than what you screen shows, unfortunately. Have you pressed the images? Don't forget that with sublimation, the colors don't "pop" until heat is applied. Hope this helps! ---Becky
I have been using silhouette studio for 7 yrs now - just starting with sublimation. It seems that my print border looks a lot smaller than yours or anyone else's. Mine looks like it comes in at least 1/4" all the way around which messes up my ability to print 20+ oz tumbler wraps. Any idea how to change that? I have tried printing borderless a time before but it actually changed the size of my print. Any help would be really appreciated! Thanks
Hey Cheryl! Sorry to hear that your printer is giving you problems. I would definitely start with checking the margin settings in your printer defaults. What printer are you using? If you don't mind, post as a new comment so that I will get notified and I can follow up with you more. ---Becky
Hi Connie, the Creative Fabrica products used in this video can be found in the description 😊 Here's the link to the I Need Vitamin Sea Design: www.creativefabrica.com/product/need-vitamin-sea/
Hey Shari! Is the 2720 installed on your computer? Go through the standard installation steps for your PC and then it should show up in the printer dialog box in Silhouette Studio. Hope this helps! ---Becky
Becky I love all yr tutorials but this one I'm lost, I got a sub printer for my 13yr old she loves crafting.i will normally watch your videos and take notes for her but, this seems a little confusing to me, I didn't get the grasp of it, probably didn't understand the terms, is the a simpler video, I can view to help her understand,tia
I use silhouette to sublimate but i get a lot of designs from etsy and i get png but when i print the color is not bright. I have the free edition. Please help
I have brought in a PNG that I downloaded and when I upload it in and try to have it full size, say 7x10, I keep getting an alert that it is too big and may be grainy at print. I've tried several and they all say this. Why is it doing this?
Hey Teena! Usually this means that the image is low resolution (low quality), for example if you've grabbed some clipart from the internet. There are times when this won't be an issue for your printing, and you can ignore the warning (test print first before sending a bulk or large print). But sometimes it just means that you won't be able to use that design at the size you intended. Hope this helps! ---Becky
I have done sublimation for small things . Now I m trying to print creative fabrica design for 20 oz tumbler and no matter what I do I m unable to get the accurate result . Tried gimp as well and silhouette as well no luck
Hey Valerie! Unfortunately Silhouette Studio doesn't have the ability for color profiles, you can only print "normal". I haven't had any issues, but if you need to use color profiles, you can check out Affinity Designer or Photoshop. Hope this helps! ---Becky
Hi, thanks for your comment. What type of font are you using? Some fonts only come as an outline, and then there might be a filled option available for the same font. If you are printing a font that is supposed to be filled, it might be the case that your printer has some issues. It could be related to that your Printhead needs a clean (see here: www.ldproducts.com/blog/how-to-clean-an-epson-printhead/) We would suggest to get in touch with Epson's support to check with them what is the best option. Thank you!
I am new to this and want to do tumblers I have everything set up from my print to my designs in creative frabrica. I am having problems on how to print what I want from creative fabrica for my tumblers. Please help
Hi Lory, we're sorry to hear you're facing some difficulties. Kindly reach out directly to our Community Support Team for assistance, they'll be happy to help: hi@creativefabrica.com 💖
Hello! ❤️ Thank you for your comment. You can just add the one image and follow the rest of the steps! 😊 Once you have your image in Silhouette that you would like to use for sublimation you are good to go! 😊
Can anybody please help me. want to print image on sublimation A4 print. then transfer to Videoflex subli fabric, then cut it with silhouette cameo 3. BUT cannot seem to get it right to get my registration marks to print in mirror with the image on sublimation paper. if anybody can help me maybe? i would appreciate.
When you are printing, are you printing from Silhouette so that the registration marks are on the image? If you are, you can mirror your image before printing, then when the image goes to cut on the Silhouette the registration marks should show the machine to line up correctly. 😊

so let's say I've created a design that's 8x11 and I want that design to be bigger, can I adjust the measurements of the image, or do I have to recreate the design for the size I need.
Can someone tell why I’m having trouble downloading the free silhouette software? I tried on both my lap top and my new iPad Pro. It wouldn’t download. However, I was able to download the Cricut software so I know there’s nothing wrong with my devices. I’m trying to play around with the software before I decide to buy the machine. I’d really appreciate if someone knows why I can’t download it.
@@creativefabrica just a message that it was unable to download. But like I said my iPad and laptop were both able to download Cricut’s Design Space so I don’t understand what is different about Silhouette’s software. I’m trying to play with both softwares so I can choose which machine to buy.
Hey Sheryl! Do you mean what version of Silhouette Studio? You can go to silhouetteamerica.com/software and just download the latest version for your computer. Hope this helps! ---Becky
Hello! It will depend how often you will use it. You can convert an Epson EcoTank, however if you are not using it frequently you could run into the lines getting clogged. I would recommend going with a Sawgrass as they have a self cleaning feature! 😊
I plan on using it alot, but I am a beginner as I said, and I need to learn how to do it all. When it comes to print sizes, would this Sawgrass be better also?
Could you do a tutorial on how to use HTV printable vinyl to give the effect of sublimation? I'm having a hard time tracing the png design so it will cut on the printable vinyl paper. The yellow saturation is either too much or to little. I'm using registration marks, I've given up on my Print N Cut mat..lol. I'll get it someday. TIA
Absolutely April! You want to check out the Crop tool under the Modify panel. I'll add a tutorial to my requests list for you! Thanks so much! ---Becky
We're sorry you were having trouble finding the software after downloading. Normally it should appear in your downloads folder. Hopefully you were able to find it 💖
@@creativefabrica thanks but I got it. Last night was tough for me. A lot of airhead moments lol. I thought I was looking for an app not a software. Thanks for replying
OMG you talk so fast like your on speed. It is so hard to keep up to you and see what your even clicking on. It's hard for us new people to keep up with you. I had to rewind so many times. But you do have many great tips. I wish all of you would make easy to follow cheat sheets so we can figure it all much easier.
