May 11: Why Silhouette?
There’s always one question we get from makers new to our machines: why Silhouette? This class will teach you the Silhouette basics, from choosing your first machine to navigating Silhouette Studio® and creating your first project. This is a monthly class, so don’t worry if you miss May’s session—we’ll leave the video recording here, and we’ll be teaching this course again in June!

May 25: How to Create a Paper Portrait (Premium Class)
Creating a paper portrait with your Silhouette machine is creating a project you will treasure forever. In this premium class, we will cover how to use your iPad or other tablet to create a digital copy of the portrait, cut individual pieces in Silhouette Studio®, and assemble the portrait with dimension. The Silhouette Cameo 4 makes this impressive project easy to create, and no advanced drawing skills are needed for this project. You won’t want to miss out on this class!

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?
