Finally a real explanation about silhouette studio , we really hope you release more of that as it’s so hard to understand the machines and finding a tutorial almost impossible ,, thank you
I've had my Cameo 3 since early 2017. While I love it, I never had an interest in the sketch pen feature until I picked up the pen holder today. This video was so helpful. I had zero idea about all the features of creating and altering your own "sketchy" fonts or simple shapes. Now I know several more things than I did.
I've had my Cameo3 for over 2 years and had not used the pens once. I started designing a cut-out project and thought it was time to break out the pens. Googled how to use them, your video was 2nd or 3rd on the results, I pushed play and within the first 15min of watching, I printed (and then cut) the project for a PERFECT outcome! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! You explained it very well and left me without a single question unanswered!!
What a great tutorial. I’ve never used sketch pens before as I didn’t know where to start. This has explained things really clearly and opened up a wealth of project ideas to try.
A perfect enlightening video!! Thank you for your calm voice and taking your time going through everything. This is amazing and I'll be going back to this video many many times, until I have it implanted into my mind You are an outstanding instructor!
This is an excellent tutorial on Silhouette sketch pens and the software. I found it easy to understand. I have a slightly older Cameo and have some experience with it, so I realize how valuable this tutorial is in going on with further details and skills to maximize my enjoyment of creating with sketch pens! Bravo!
Excellent tutorial. Well spoken, well filmed, exactly right. Thanks Kelly & Silhouette. I bought the Cameo 4 to cut small wood items on thin wood 1-2 mm. Seems like it can't do it. If it can, I hope Silhouette can show me how, thanks. Just done my first print & cut using your tutorial, came out great.
WIsh they would have you make more videos on using the machine. THe closeups are great along with the pointer being visible unlike other videos there. Thanks
@kelly Wayment - so impressed. I've been a Silhouette user for 5 years and you have taught me many a new trick here. Excellent content and pace . A reason to subscribe right there. Fab thanks.Would be helpful to have links to purchase items seen in your tutorials. Impressed and paying attention throughout ;0)
Thank you! I do include links in my blog posts for these classes on my personal blog FindingTimeToCreate.com, but I don't have control over Silhouette's channel and description. I'll see what I can do to get links added through Silhouette.
Super helpful! I hope you have a lesson on using registration marks for cameo 4, I’ve been trying to figure out how to cut my stamped images for card making but all I get is registration failure. This was a fantastic tutorial, thank you!
Flutehappy Harbaugh What you want for cutting around stamped images is the PixScan mat. Watch my video PixScan Like a Pro in this Silhouette 101 video series.
Since this came out after Cameo 4 was on the market, it would be helpful to address that only one blade position is available...and that a lot of the flexibility and features are not there.
It was filmed before the Cameo 4 was available, but you may notice I mention several times the alternative for using a single tool holder. (Usually I referred to the Portrait machine.)
Meaghan Larsen I know how you feel! If you decide to upgrade to a Cameo 4, keep your 3 for the dual-tool features, and then you can appreciate the 4 for the cool features you gain with the specialty tools in carriage 2. :)
Alisha Lampley with the cameo 4 you would need to add pauses for switching between ratchet blade and writing pens. Because the speciality blade can only hold the special rotary and craft blades. Sometimes I wonder if I would not like the extra steps but of adding pauses and taking out blade to switch for pen. It not huge deal breaker but sometimes I feel like it could be a little annoying for some projects.
Thanks for a nice video, I learned something new today! My Silhouette Camero 4 is being delivered tomorrow. I had no idea it stretched too. Question, can you personalize words inside the Basic Studio program, or is an upgrade required? Thanks
Thank you for this very lengthy, meticulously put together tutorial! I picked up a couple of new techniques today - and it's embarrassing to say that I've had my silhouette for 4 years and not know you can use a sketch font to make it look like it was written. Can you share where we can find the sticksketch font and can you recommend a cursive font that's like, stick-y like that. Thanks in advance!!!
I love you video! Now practicing ☺️. Are the fonts you used available in The Design Store? If not, can you share where we can get them from. Many thanks!
Thank you, vos vidéo sont top. Je vais pouvoir apprendre à utilisé ma cameo 4 plus. Dommage que c est pas traduits. Mais on voie bien quand vous est sur le logiciel. Encors merci.
FUKK i was happy i never have to go to school again now i am home schooling myself doing online classes. . 😪 Just kidding 🤪 i am happy that these things are available from home. :D What a world we live in!
You can use Silhouette sketch pens in the Cameo 1 with no adapter. Because there is only one tool holder, you can ignore the parts of the video using the dual carriage.
Can you give a link to the jelly pens you use. They seem more sharp than the pens you get with you machine. The ones you get with the machine are very fine. Is there a way to get them to sketch heavier or darker?
For the cameo 4, it looks like you must use the pause method, as you can’t put either the sketch or a ratchet blade into tool holder 2. Is that true or is there a work around that would allow it? Annoying as having one in each tool holder makes so much sense.
It's currently called "Pen Holder Type B". www.silhouetteamerica.com/shop/blades-and-mats/PEN-HOLDER-C4 If it states it works up to Cameo 3 and Curio, it won't work in the Cameo 4.
I just got my Cameo 4. The direction booklet that came with it says you CANNOT do a sketch pen in carriage 2. It says that 2 is exclusively for special tools.
That is correct. This class was filmed with the Cameo 3, so please treat it for sketching as if it has one tool holder. (I mention how to do this a few times for Portrait owners, but it applies to the Cameo 4 as well.)
Hi... I want to thank you for this great video.. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 I just want to ask.. Which version of softwares is this one.. Because I didn't find this icons in mine... With regards 🤗🤗🤗🤗
The Line Effects Panel (mentioned at about 27:00) has been available to all users since 4.2.471. If you have Designer Edition or higher, you have more options with line effects than in the basic edition.
Hello, my name is George. I bought a song 4 in Bogotá Colombia, but the software I download is different for Latin America, as I do to download the version you have in the tutorial videos, it is more complete. Thank you
Hi, when using the sketch pens I get drag marks from the ink. The drag marks start from the corner of the paper to sketch images and sometimes through the images. Also, sometimes the pen is very wobbly after locking the pen in place. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.
Try reducing your "force" setting to below 10. If it's a Silhouette sketch pen, it shouldn't wobble. If you're using your own pen in the adjustable pen holder, sometimes the tip can move if it's got the wrong size of collar or if the pen is extra skinny. Again, reducing the force could help by letting the pen do its writing without so much drag on your paper. If you still have trouble, please reach out to Silhouette Support. www.silhouetteamerica.com/contact
Hi ! I am having issues with the sketch pens ; they leave dragging marks. How can I resolve that matter ? I bought a load of them and would like to be able to use them...
They have a new sketch pen holder for the silhouette cameo 4. They only added the adapters so you could still use the older blades and tools in the cameo 4 but they did release a new sketch pen for the new model. www.amazon.com/Silhouette-Pen-Holder-Cameo-4/dp/B0816384GK
The Cameo 4's right tool holder can not be used for a sketch pen. It has been upgraded to a specialty tool holder with different functions needing high force. For sketching, treat the Cameo 4 the same as the Portrait models or Cameo 1 & 2 with a single tool holder. You need the black-body sketch pens and the blue adapter to use sketch pens in the Cameo 4 (left side only).
Hi! I'm thinking of buying Silhouette Cameo Pro. I contacted a few suppliers in EU but they don't have it. I live in Cyprus so need suppliers in EU in order not to pay taxes. Do you have any suppliers in EU who can assist me?
That has happened to me as well. You'll need to get a new pen holder, but you may get by for a while by twisting a tight rubber band around the split area. I always keep a spare, now.
sunniflorida Pattern paper is my go-to setting for most cardstock. You can use any paper setting for sketching, and when you’re cutting just use the one that’s appropriate for your paper.
