![]() Regarding KNK owners doing fabric cutting, I'm not aware of a group just for that purpose. I'm 99% certain you cannot resume a cut after pausing because there's simply no function in either SCAL or C3 to make that happen. I was certainly never told of any sequence for stopping a cut. I design and make what I think of as "art" handbags that use a range of fabrics like vintage silk kimono cloth, as well as linen-like polyesters for linings, all interfaced. I would love to get in touch! I'm working out settings for cutting fabrics other than quilting cottons, and would be happy to share what I've come up with so far and could use any wisdom others have accumulated. My second question is whether there is a SCAL/KNK user group (or user subgroup) dedicated to fabric cutting. If this is a standard "4 push" cycle, could you elaborate as to what the steps are for each start-button push? I'm guessing that after the first push/pause, there aren't any press sequences that would restart the cut? And, I have to push it still again to power down the machine. A third push on the start button, again if I remember correctly, returns the blade to the start/origin. Do you know, does the blade go up at this point, allowing me to remove the mat/work? If I push again, my best recollection is that there are some blinking lights and not much other change that I could see. The first time I press it, the machine does seem to pause with the blade staying exactly where it was when I pushed. My first question is, the Force running SCAL 5 pro, seems to go through a cycle when I press that button during a cut, but I haven't been able to figure out what that cycle is. I hadn't thought of simply pulling out the power cord, and instead have been pushing the lighted power button. I do have a couple of ancillary questions, though. Keep the Registration Marks checkbox checked, so that when you hit the Cut button, it will inform the Silhouette to look for those registration marks on the printed paper before it actually starts to cut the outline.Thanks so much for your quick reply, and also for the terrific manuals that have become my cutting bible! I was afraid that was the answer when I couldn't find anything in the materials about it. Choose Cut to bring up the Sihouette Cut Settings window again. Then hide the original layer that has the gingerbread with the eyes, mouth and buttons so that only the Blackout version is visible.ĥ. Then change the Style in the Appearance Section of the Properties window to Blackout which will remove the inner items (eyes, mouth, buttons). If the outlines are not in separate layers, you can do an Edit -> Copy and then Edit -> Paste in Place so that it makes a copy in a new Layer in the same location. Layers in the Layers window so those item won't get cut. If the outlines are in separate layers, you can hide those Whatever outline is shown on the mat, is what will get cut, so in this example, it will only cut the outer outline of the gingerbread man. This example will assume you do not want to cut out the holes where the eyes, mouth and buttons are, so we will hide or remove those outlines so they don't get cut. Now it is time to cut the printed paper with your Silhouette. Your printed paper will print L shaped registration marks in 3 corners of the paper like the one shown below. For Print and Cut, check the "Registration Marks" option and then choose "Print" to print your design with your printer.ģ. When you are done with your Design, choose to Cut the project and it will show the Silhouette Cut Settings window. In this example we have added two gingerbread men, where one is filled with a solid color and the other is filled with an image pattern. You should also set the paper size to 8.5"x11" under the Cutter menu or in the Properties window as well. For the mat setup we recommend you change the orientation to Portrait from under the Cutter menu or in the Properties window so that the Arrow on the edge of the mat points up. First create your design in Sure Cuts A Lot. This tutorial will take advantage of the optic scanner in your Silhouette machine to find special registration marks on your printed paper to help cut more accurately.ġ. To Print and Cut, you will design a project in Sure Cuts A Lot, print with your regular printer, and then take your printed paper and feed it into the Silhouette for cutting. This tutorial will show you how to print and cut with your Silhouette SD cutting machine from Sure Cuts A Lot.
