Keep reading for news and updates on all of the Zoom classes we’re teaching this month!
All August Classes

August 3: Back to School Pennant Flags
We can’t believe that the next school year is almost here! Get in the mood to organize, plan, and study with these adorable pennant flags. They make fantastic photo props for your back to school photos, so tune into this class to learn how to make them!
Date: August 3, 2021 at 11:00 AM MDT
Teacher: McKenna Blanthorn
This class is over, but you can read more about how to make these pennant flags here!
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!

Because these classes are all posted online later to watch at any time, we record them during weekday working hours. We don’t want anyone to miss out! They are posted on the Silhouette Inc. YouTube channel, or the Michaels Community Classroom YouTube channel, or both.

Hello, I would love to learn how to layer colors and the cutting setting. Everything I make now has to be one color for now.
Kelly Wayment
August 5, 2021
I’m not quite sure what you mean specifically about layering colors, but it may be as simple as Ungrouping your design. When a design is ungrouped, you can fill each shape with a different color.

I bought a cameo 3 Several years ago and had problems setting up and installing the software completely. I gave up and went back to quilting. Is there a video tutorial that I can use to complete the setup? Will these classes be available a another time?
Kelly Wayment
August 5, 2021
The Cameo 3 uses the same software as any other Silhouette cutting machine, so the software setup instructions will be the same for you. I recommend watching this recording about setting up Silhouette Studio, and I also recommend registering for the Intro to Silhouette class where I do talk briefly about where to download and set up the software. If you are encountering problems while trying to install it, please reach out to Silhouette Support directly.

IF i HAVE AN OLDER ONE CAN I STILL USE IT FOR THESE CLASSES. I HARDLY USED IT CAUSE WHERE WE GOT IT WAS NO LONGER IN BUSINESS AND THERE WERE NO OTHER STORES SELLING IT THEN.
Kelly Wayment
August 5, 2021
In many cases you can use older machine models for any of these classes. The class description usually lists if you must have a specific machine. I suggest registering for any classes that interest you, and you’ll find out if a specific machine is required.
