The Rotary Blade is a tool that can be used with the Silhouette Cameo® 4 cutting machines (including the Cameo Plus and the forthcoming Cameo Pro) to cut materials like fabric and felt.
Using the Rotary Blade is quite a bit different than using any other Silhouette cutting blade or tool. That’s why we’ve compiled this guide to show you what the process is as well as recommended best practices for success.

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?
