I love the contact/transfer paper hack to keep the mat clean. I cut felt for the back of mosaic tiles and it ruined my mat so I love this idea. Thank you 😊

@XsomeoneXelseX 2 жыл бұрын

oh the contact paper tip is brilliant. the way felt ruins mats is what's been keeping me from cutting a lot of felt!

You already know this, but youre incredible. I love your explanations. I love you voice, and you have a way of calming me down when I cant figure this stuff out. I decided to buy a rotary blade to "attempt" a project... 2 things... -For some reason every time I tried to test cut it would shut my software down. I ended up just cutting straight away after the 3rd shut down. -What's the difference between rotary cut and rotary cut edge? I'm looking at the images and can't tell how it would affect the cut.

@kathymanzo4061 5 ай бұрын

I have a question about the felt. Do you stabilize the back of your felt first with a product such as Heat and Bond ? I think this was done on fabric to be cut on the Cameo. Another question. Is there a blade adapter for the Cameo 5 ? I just received mine. I upgraded from a Cameo 3. I have so many blades for the 3...rotary, fabric etc. all unopened. I sure would love to use them. Thanks you 🙂

Thank you for sharing the information on the rotary blade. Questions: Do I need to remove the autoblade first? Also, my rotary blade doesn’t seem to seat down into carriage 2. Is that normal? I appreciate you showing the settings before sending. Is there anything else we need to do to let the machine know we are using carriage 2?

@kathleenfillingim8300 2 жыл бұрын

I tried taking the autoblade out if carriage one, but the machine still wants to use it. It will not let me send a job unless I have an action/tool set for carriage 1. I don’t have anything to show where to select carriage 2 when I need to send the job.

@DesignBundles 2 жыл бұрын

If you are using the second carriage, you do not need to remove your blade from the first one. When you go to cut you will want to make sure carriage 1 is on a no cut setting and then you can select carriage 2 to cut!

@DesignBundles 2 жыл бұрын

@@kathleenfillingim8300 When you are under your send menu there should be a No cut, Cut, or cut edge option for carriage 1, you will want to click "no cut" this will prevent it from using carriage 1. Carriage 2 is right below, you may need to click the arrow for it to drop down, but then you can select "cut" for carriage 2 to work. If you still have any questions you can always reach out to customer support at mail@designbundles.net and they will be happy to help!

@@DesignBundles thank you for your response! That’s actually what I ended up doing, and I even had to click on every piece and click on /no cut/ for carriage one. I was surprised I had to do that because I would have thought you could select which tool you wanted to use, and that would be it. My rotary cutter also cut circles inside my fabric. 😬

@jillfoster7373 3 жыл бұрын

I’ve tried doing a couple different flowers, very much like the one you’ve cut, and each time the loops are partially in the design itself and it cuts right through the design. Is there anyway to move the loops or is this something that is there because of how it’s the designed?

@DesignBundles 3 жыл бұрын

Hmm, that would be frustrating Jill. I would double-click your design to access the point-editing, and see if you have any red dots to indicate a broken path. If the design is complete, the software should know that and not put the little loops inside the design. Hope this helps! ---Becky

@jillfoster7373 3 жыл бұрын

@@DesignBundles Thank you for the suggestion. I finally figured it out and it was that I had not updated my software. There must have been some sort of fix in one of the updates because the design hooks and loops were placed correctly on the outside of the simple design once I updated. I was beyond happy and I learned how important it was to keep up to date.

Hi Becky. I'm trying to cut a felt flower and my cameo 4 does not connect to Carriage 2. I have all the setting correct. I have the rotary blade in carriage 2 but when I send to cut, a pop up tells me my material is not compatible in carriage 1. But I minimized carriage one and opened carriage 2, made my settings for felt and the flower pieces remain red when they should be blue. Can you help me? I have cut things in carriage 1 before but never in carriage 2. I just got my rotary blade. Thanks.

Thank you for the video. It seems like a waste to use transfer tape every time you want to cut a flower. I also believe that you rolled your flower backward. it is my understanding from watching other people and making them myself that the part you started with is meant to be glued to the backside of the flower to hold it together.
