I'm so excited to be able to share this wonderful idea that Pete; one of the Silhouette Plus forum members hsared on the forum. I wrote to him to ask his permission to share his brilliant idea here on my blog. When some wonderful share comes out I try to make sure I share it here. for those of you whom struggle with the settings for the CB09; Pete has come up with a solution. I've basicaly left my setttings the same for every cut due to the fact I was never sure exaclt how much of the bald to expose. For this reason I do everything as a double cut which works out beautfiully but now I'm anxious to try Pete's wonderful idea. Below I've copied and pasted his post and I'll also be sharing the photos he took and the cutting file download link for the file he so kindly made for our CB09 blade holders. "I thought this might be a handy idea for all of that use the CB09 blade. I just got mine, and decided to try to make things easier for myself. I thought maybe I can replicate the numbers on the Silhouette blade, and make it easier to adjust. I divided the top knurled screw into sets of 4 grooves as suggested by lots of people and then measured the circumference of the top of the body. (sounds technical, but in reality I wrapped a bit of paper round). When I had done this, I divided the paper into the amount needed, marked lines at the top and printed numbers underneath, and stuck it to the barrel, making sure that the blade was set to no depth. It doesn’t matter where you align the zero, but when done, make sure you know where by marking it in some way before moving it. I'm sorry if this explanation is a bit brief, but I have enclosed a picture which may explain what I mean, together with a few markers for you to cut and use, including a couple of spares, if you get in a mess like I did. Bear in mind that as you are moving the knurled screw at the top, and not the barrel of the blade, the rotation will be clockwise!" Here is the link to download the cutting file template Pete shared: Cut Blade Sttings Template - Studio File Many thanks to Pete for allowing me to share this very helpful file and information here on my blog. Happy Crafting Everyone!

It's now easier than ever to cut felt with Silhouette CAMEO. The trick is to use the CAMEO 4 rotary blade - and you can skip the stabilizer. The rotary blade rolls across the felt rather than dragging the blade through it, which allows both acrylic craft felt and wool felt to cut very easily. Preparing Felt to Cut on Silhouette Start by placing a sheet of felt on your Silhouette cutting mat. That's it - you do not need a stabilizer, just put your sheet of felt right on your mat. If you want to make sure you don't leave felt fibers behind, use this contact paper trick to keep your mat clean and sticky! Next you want to roll a brayer over the felt. I suggest you do not skip this step. It will allow you to get the best possible stick and remove any wrinkles in your felt. Setting Up Your Silhouette CAMEO 4 and Software to Cut Felt Load the cutting mat into the Silhouette CAMEO 4. Ensure the cap on the rotary blade is twisted all the way up so the rotary wheel is exposed. Place the Silhouette Rotary Blade in the right tool carriage of the CAMEO 4. This is the high pressure, specialty tool carriage - Carriage 2. Power on and connect the CAMEO 4 to your computer by USB or Bluetooth. Move into Silhouette Studio. From the Send panel select an available machine from the machine list. Expand the Carriage/Tool 2 settings. Change the material to Felt, Acrylic. The software should recognize you have a rotary blade in the carriage and auto detect it. The tool should change to "Auto (Rotary)" and the action to "Auto (Rotary Cut)". Designing for the Rotary Blade Move to the Design area and open the Page Setup Panel. Select the machine, Mat size, and Material all as Auto. Open your design in the work area. I am using this 3D bow design to make felt bows. The design comes in grouped together so I ungrouped it and deleted the parts I did not want to use. Keep in mind, the rotary blade will work better on some designs than others. It works best on curves rather than corners. It will still work on corners, but with every corner you will produce another loop which is how the wheel turns. The rotary blade can 'drive' on curves so you get fewer loops. Designs with a lot of loops put more stress on your material on the mat and more wear on your rotary blade. Once your design is all sized and ready to go, move back to the Send panel. Cutting Felt with the Silhouette Rotary Blade The Design should have blue cut lines around it and you'll notice some extra lines in the negative space. These are the loops. Again, the loops are how the Silhouette rotary blade turns and changes direction. I have found the best cut settings for felt are the default cut settings for Felt, Acrylic in Silhouette Studio. I have used these cut settings for multiple types of felt and they work very well. When you're ready click "Send" to begin cutting. When the cutting is finished unload your cutting mat and simply peel up the felt pieces. It's amazing how well felt cuts - both acrylic and wool! If you notice you are getting some pulls increase the force slightly the next time or if it's been awhile your rotary wheel may be getting dull so you may need to replace it. Now you just need to assemble your felt bows! And that's it! Attach them to a clip or a headband to make a cute piece for a little girl's hair!

If your Silhouette cutting mats have lost their stick or are excessively dirty there is a simple way to clean them. Trying to restick Silhouette cutting mats is not something that I recommend - as it's impossible to get them back to their original adhesive level. However, if you have a cutting mat that looks like this one after cutting felt, leather, or some other 'fuzzy' material you can clean it to extend the life. How to Clean Silhouette CAMEO Cutting Mats Grab a few paper towels... Get the paper towels somewhat damp. You only need water, no soap. Rub the damp paper towel on your Silhouette cutting mat to remove any fibers. Avoid using your fingernails as you don't want to scratch off the layer of cutting mat adhesive. Depending on how dirty your adhesive cutting mat is you may need to use a few wet paper towels to clean it. Leave the mat to dry for a few hours before using it again. And if you want to avoid this mess again and really extend the life of your Silhouette cutting mats, I suggest you lay down a layer of temporary mat adhesive when cutting materials like felt and leather that can make a mess of your cutting mat.
