How to keep your silhouette studio mat from moving.

Covering it each time can help keep it clean. To restick the silhouette mat and another off brand cutting mat i used dritz basting spray from my local wal mart for less than 10 00. Remove the tape and power the silhouette unit back on. So something i learned rather quickly after ruining 2 pieces of cardstock on my new silhouette cameo.

When loading a cutting mat into your silhouette align the mat with the white rollers. Use your palm or even better the silhouette scraper tool to press the media to the mat and check that is is stuck evenly throughout. Use tape to hold materials in place. Make sure the arrow on the top of the mat is pointing into the machine.

The mat was feeding initially but then would start slanting and feeding totally wrong and end up at. This helps with very thick materials as well. If this was not previously removed this would be the cause of the excessive noise. Soon loading your mat properly will become second nature and you ll be well on your way to enjoying lots of creative time with your silhouette.

The cameo 3 user s manual can be accessed through the help menu in silhouette studio. I just got off the phone with silhouette and had to edit this post after getting some great help. There are 2 sides to the blue protective cover a shiny side which is non stick and a matte side. Place the shiny side of the blue protective cover down on the adhesive side of the mat.

Lift your silhouette s lid to make sure any tape that is connecting the motor to the side of the unit has been removed. Pay attention to these details and you will save yourself a lot of wasted time and frustration. With newer mats this isn t usually an issue but with older mats you need to take an extra minute to make sure that it was adhered to the mat evenly everywhere not just in the middle. Tape off the edges of your mats to prevent spraying adhesive on the entire surface.

Set up your silhouette studio workspace to include specific sizes like 8 5 x 11 or to cut longer than the mat. Like our awesome facebook page here for daily.
