One of the limitations of the Silhouette Studio program is that files designed in the program can only be saved in the proprietary .studio format. Since no other programs can open a .studio file, whatever designs that were created in Silhouette Studio can only be opened by the same software. So what happens if you had used the program to design for, say, an 11" x 17" sheet of paper but your printer can only print on letter-size papers? How can you export the design into a jpeg or a pdf so that you can have it printed at the office supply store? Today's tutorial was written by Shirley Swoope. By using multiple screenshots, Shirley will show you how you can use the Bullzip PDF printer to "save" your Silhouette Studio file into a jpeg, png, or even pdf for printing. You can download Bullzip HERE and Shirley's tutorial HERE. You can also find Shirley at her blog HERE.

The Silhouette Rotary Blade is hands down one of my favorite Silhouette accessories. The ease of use in cutting fabric, felt, tissue paper, and other difficult to cut materials has made it extremely popular. It's so popular the rotary blade is often difficult to find....and highly intriguing to users with older model Silhouette machines as well who are left hoping and wondering: "Can I use the rotary blade in Silhouette CAMEO 3? Unfortunately the answer is no. The Silhouette Rotary Blade can only be used in the Silhouette CAMEO 4, 15" Silhouette CAMEO 4 Plus, and upcoming Silhouette CAMEO Pro. The CAMEO 4 Rotary Blade needs to be used in the specialty tool high pressure carriage on the CAMEO 4 series machines. The size of the carriage - and therefore also the diameter of the tool - is different than the older model Silhouette machines. So not only will the Rotary Blade not fit in the CAMEO 3, CAMEO 2, Curio or Portrait, those machines do not have the newer technology developed for the high pressure carriage to use the rotary blade even if it did fit. Because the rotary blade is a wheel and rolls across the material instead of dragging through it like the blades, you can cut fabric and felt of different weights cleanly without any type of stabilizer. It is possible to cut fabric and felt on the older Silhouette machines, but a stabilizer like Terial magic, Heat n Bond, or freezer paper is needed to make it easier for a ratchet or Autoblade to cut through the fibers of the material cleanly.
