August 10: Intro to Silhouette
Kelly Wayment is back with another session of her Intro to Silhouette course! This class is a fantastic introduction to the Silhouette family and a great place to learn the basics of designing projects and cutting them with your machine. If you’re new to the Silhouette community, you don’t want to miss out on this opportunity to learn from Kelly in real time and ask for help with your questions!

August 25: Never Stop Growing T-Shirt
One of our favorite ways to create custom textiles is to use the Silhouette Stencil Material to help us customize our favorite shirts, bags, and tote bags with designs from the Design Store. We used it with fabric ink to turn a simple white t-shirt into this adorable graphic tee!

You can use it with vinyl as long as it is smooth and flat to allow the static charge to hold on to it. Rolled vinyl that wants to go back to its rolled shape will not necessarily work well, and it would need to be trimmed to fit the ES mat cutting area.

Yes, you can use the heat pen while using the ES mat. 🙂

Once you’ve pushed the mat up against the rollers, just press the “Load” arrow button (bottom right on the display). Does a regular sticky mat load into the machine for you?
