        hello,

        i am having an issue and hope that you can help. my cameo 4 has been cutting higher on the mat and cutting into the mat a few times even though i have the mat setting in the design section. what do you think it could be? its driving me bonkers trying to figure it out. i know older models had the load media vs load cut mat but cameo 4.ReplyCancel

            Hi Gina! Are you using an auto blade or ratchet blade?ReplyCancel

        I have a question. I have two cameo 4s that I registered with an email I no longer use. I still have access to that account. I have a business key for the second cameo I bough. I am not able to get my cameos to work using my new email account. It says I have no machines and the machines will only work with the original owner. I have tried to open the account through my old email with no success and when I try to update my password on silhouetteamerica.com it doesn’t send me any rest passwords. Any assistance with this. I don’t remember my password for the original email and it comes up automatically. What can I do. I’ve contacted silhouette America and nothing is happening. Please help.ReplyCancel

        How do I switch to the blade in the number 2 chambet?ReplyCancel

          Hi Beth! You can change the tool in the Send panel. You should see options for Carriage 1 and Carriage 2. I hope that helps!ReplyCancel

          DIY Sunburst Tie Dye Tote Bags

          When you think of tie-dye it’s likely that the image of an iconic hippie-esque swirl t-shirt comes to mind first, created with lots of bright colors.

            Awesome bags. These tote bags are totally mind-blowing. I had some of the same kind of material from a project I did long ago and remembered when I saw your post. I made it while home quarantining and it turned out beautiful. I made three bags for my three best girl pals. I didn’t have add any extra trimmings as the tie and dye design itself is enough to set them apart.ReplyCancel

            Bought two Cameo 4s. Can I set both up on one computer and use the same silhouette design. It appears that when I change machine the design studio does not recognize the second cameo 4. Do I need to have two accounts or just set up on two different computers? I want to be able to use both. Still learning how to use.ReplyCancel

            • prettylifegirlsJanuary 18, 2021 - 8:22 am

              Hi Clara! You should be able to switch between different machines on the same computer. Are you connecting your machines with USB or Bluetooth? At the bottom of the Send panel, to the left of the Send button, there is a little machine icon. If you click it, it should list all your machines and say “available” below those that it detects, and you should be able to select the machine you want to use. Let me know if you already tried that!ReplyCancel

            Do you have a tutorial on how to curve the words? I have a split monogram that is curved and now need to fill in the name. Can’t figure out how to curve the name to fit into the gentle swoop of the monogram. Thank you!!ReplyCancel
