Part 3 … Tracing Without Tears

February 19, 2013 by Kay

Part 3 of Tracing Without Tears is ready. This edition covers how to trace line art, and how to work with the trace results to get the kind of cuts you want using Silhouette Studio. This includes separating a trace to cut the pieces from different colors of paper or vinyl and some tips on tracing templates.

And in case you missed Part 1, you can find it here or for Part 2, click here.

    Kay – I have to tell you that you have made the world of difference to me and educated my on many aspects of tracing… you’ve basically taught me all about the ‘mysteries’ surrounding the tracing tools…

    I just want to add that I really appreciate what you have done – probably for thousands of people – whatever their level. I thought I knew a lot about silhouette studio – but you have taught me so much more.

    I really hope that you aren’t going to stop at tracing – and teach us on other aspects of the software.

    Your gentle tone and descriptive narration make it all easier to understand and retain.

    Thank you once again Kay. I look forward to to many other videos!

    Hugs, Paula x x x

    Kay, i want to add my thanks for this series. I am watching and re-watching to get a full understanding of how the software works. I got my Cameo at Christmas and have been creating files with the trial and error approach and I must say you are making it so much easier and more fun with far less user error. I really appreciate your calm and clear demonstrations. You are a born teacher. Thanks again and I look forward to more videos.

    Such great videos- really appreciate the time you’ve taken producing them. No.3 in particular was really helpful- would never have thought to leave the original graphic and simply trace using the line tool once you’ve outer traced it. Thanks!!

    This was so wonderful. I watch all three of these again and again to make sure I have learned every detail. I hope you will go on to other topics, because these videos are the absolute best I have seen on the Silhouette software!

    Excellent video Kay! I know how much these will help all of the new users of the Studio software. As you know, I’ve made oodles of video tutorials, I love the way you have made them into series. I’ll have to try making the videos I share in this way. It really helps keep things so well organized. xxx- Debbie
