Tracing Without Tears … a new video series

January 23, 2013 by Kay

I’m very excited to be releasing Part 1 of my series of videos about tracing in Silhouette Studio. It’s a new approach I hope will help ease some frustration. In Part 1 I cover why and when you need to trace, what are the best kinds of images to trace, how to do a basic trace, and how to avoid the “double line” problem. Please help me get the word out to any Silhouette newbies you know.

 

Playlist for all videos in the series is here

    Beautiful job! I wish this had been available when I was starting out! I had to look all over to find the info you summed up in one video! I will be sending newer users to see this from now on.

    I have been SO lost with my Silhouette, I know it can do cool things, but am just overwhelmed. This video made it so simple, I’ll be watching your other ones next. Just wanted to say thanks, and I appreciate it!
