Part 4 … Tracing Without Tears

by

Today I’m posting Part 4 of the Tracing Without Tears series, which focuses on tracing for print and cut. I go through a half dozen representative examples including a cut file that has already been traced, a decoupage sheet, and several styles of clip art. I also unearth the mystery of the trace and detach button and show one use for the low pass filter. Thanks again for your enthusiastic response to this video series. Keep leaving your comments and keep spreading the word while I keep the videos coming!

And in case you missed Part 1, you can find it here ,Part 2 is here and Part 3 is here.

And there’s a playlist here.

  1. Just found you a couple days ago. I watched the 1st 3 videos about tracing and was amazed at how easy you make what seemed to be an really difficult task for me. I can’t thank you enough for coming to my rescue as I try to learn my way around my new Silhouette Portrait. I’ve subscribed to your blog and hope to make my way through all your Silhouette posts in the next few days.

    Thank you!!!!

  3. Thank you so much for all you are doing and sharing! Teresa in Oklahoma!

  4. Thank you so much. This series has been very helpful and you do an outstanding job explaining it.

  5. I love all your videos. Thank you so much. I have so much fun with my cameo cause of you! When you print what settings do you use to get a nice print? Thanks again and keep them coming, please!!!!!

    • Thanks, Patsy. The print settings you should use depend heavily on the printer and paper you are using. Visit your printer’s support page for tips on this.

  6. Lots of great information! Thank you so much!!! I definitely will keep this to view again 🙂 I also plan to share with the group at Scrap Girls as many have just purchased their Silhouettes.

    Awesome tutorial!

  13. Thank you, Thank you. Your videos are awesome, giving easy to understand explanations with examples of when they would be applicable. I like that you serve them up in bite size morsels.
    Great job.

  14. Continued thanks for your seemingly endless efforts. We are truly all blessed to be on the receiving end of your good deeds. These videos are the absolute best Silhouette instructional videos I have seen to date, and I have seen oodles.

  19. THANK YOU so much for doing these videos. So incredibly helpful. I think I’ve thanked you like 5 times but I don’t care. I can’t say it enough.

  21. I found you a day or so ago. Really loved these videos. Just bought a new Cameo – touch screen – and love it. I want to do templates for startch method applique for quilting. If you have any suggestions I would be happy to hear them. The tracing features are fabulous. Thank you again for posting these!!

  1. […] -Prepare your design. I highly recommend you start with a print and cut file from the Silhouette store because all you have to do is place it on the mat. You should have some in your library already. Preparing other types of files is covered thoroughly in other tutorials but basically for a “tag” style (text inside shape), type your text and fill it with a color using the Paint Bucket button (very important), draw tag shape and position, set the tag shape to Cut Edge. Or for a “fussy cut,” Trace Outer Edge to create the cut line. See this video for a detailed tutorial on tracing for print and cut. […]
