I can imagine that happening, though, esp. if you cut multiples of the same shape. The mat gets grooves etched in it where the blade travels. I do think it's a really cool machine and lets you make things that would be impossible to cut by hand. I like it a lot.Jessica Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10111703670084066670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556794318856646559.post-20164787369144304712012-09-09T03:01:51.219-05:002012-09-09T03:01:51.219-05:00I'm thinking of buying a silhouette cameo.

(This gets a little glitchy sometimes, so be sure to ungroup first in Illustrator and then paste your design into a new document before saving as a dxf. Don't know why this works, but it does.)<br /><br />In the pixel heart post, I made the .studio file a different way. I filled the heart with black (including the hole) and saved it as a png from Illustrator. I opened the png in Studio and used the trace function to make the outline. Then drew the hole back in using the rectangle shape tool in Studio. Grouped them and copied them. <br /><br />A note--the trace function only works decently on shapes that are filled. It goes haywire when you try to trace an item with holes cut out of the inside. You have to trace the holes separately and put them back into the main shape. <br /><br />Tracing a png results in red cut lines with vector points. Opening a dxf file will show black lines with no vector points, but they will still cut.<br /><br />Hope that helps!Jessica Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10111703670084066670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556794318856646559.post-6245719963524045072012-02-20T09:47:08.022-06:002012-02-20T09:47:08.022-06:00These are fabulous!These are fabulous!Suzy Home Madehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15279707064454289707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7556794318856646559.post-46744825829856891872012-02-19T12:47:28.052-06:002012-02-19T12:47:28.052-06:00I love reading your blog even MORE now that I met ...I love reading your blog even MORE now that I met you at Alt.

I've been wanting one for a while now. Really simple and lovely! One thing I've been wondering about...is it really as easy as saving designs from Adobe Illustrator to a .svg file? And how does one make a .studio file (like in your pixel heart post)? I'm computer savvy, but a few pointers in the right direction would be appreciated!
