I have all kinds of powerful software to work in, but I can’t help exploring Silhouette Studio to try and find out why it behaves as it does. I began researching yet another double line problem and discovered some interesting facts about how SS operates. I figured out how to keep the double lines at bay, which also led me to a way to offset text and keep it editable, and a way to add a quick bleed zone to objects. You know I’m not one to keep the minutiae to myself 🙂 Click here for a printable PDF.

Kay, you are brilliant! Thank you for always being so willing to share your knowledge with us all! You are appreciated as is your knowledge and kindness!!
I need someone help immediately. I am making company shirits that has a logo on it but I cant get the inside of the image to cut out. its a hotwater heater that is suppose to have a face , but its only cutting the out line if it out and not the face part. I was already suppose to have the shirits finished. need help please if someone knows how.
When you go to the Send panel you will see a cut preview on the left hand size. Try setting everything to Cut and if that doesn’t work, ungroup and set pieces individually to cut. It also possible that you need to trace the face before you will be able to cut it.
Kay, this is such a nice visual. It will serve SS users well. I’ve found myself using a color behind a pattern or color fill to get that bleed which is so nice. I love the way you explore, discover, and then, so kindly share. You’re such a lovely spirit. Thank you. Hugs, Debbie
Thanks, Kay, once again for sharing with our group! You explained this so well.
I am so happy that you have such an insatiable curiosity for SS. I am learning so much for you and I’m feeling more secure as I go along thanks to you. Keep ’em coming.

Hi Kay, I so appreciate the “minutiae” you share with us. I enjoy my Silhouette even more after reading your tutorials and tips. You are a great teacher! Thank you for your expertise!
Thank you Kay, this information is really helpful, as are your videos.
I love your blogs always so helpful Thank you
Great. Now tell me how to get rid of a double line in MTC.
The double lines in MTC are probably from tracing line art. You will need to use the break command then delete one of the lines. The first 3 videos in my tracing without tears series might help you even though they aren’t for MTC.
What a GREAT bit of knowledge, especially to keep editable text!
Thank you so much for the visual clarification on these two styles. You explain the theories and reasons so easily for the masses to understand it!!
Kay, thank you so much for this tip. It was extremely helpful. Keep up the great work. We appreciate you so much.
You are awesome! Your time spent in coming up with these tips and tutorials is invaluable to those of us who are basically new to Silhouette. Your kindness is deeply appreciated.
