I just sent the vinyl in by itself without the cutting mat. I did find out that you can download free fonts to your computer and they will show up in the list of fonts on the Silhouette - great place to get some is fontspace.com. Can't wait to try more stuff now. Thanks for your help Kathleen :)Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01301601844716579625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196095864158514652.post-43061610443501615682013-07-22T21:08:58.779-04:002013-07-22T21:08:58.779-04:00Oh no!

I also did another project without using the cutting mat and for those I had to slide the rollers to the 12 inch slot. Try that out and hopefully you'll have some success!Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10556646999654445794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196095864158514652.post-85291443483162816972013-07-22T14:01:00.634-04:002013-07-22T14:01:00.634-04:00Hi Kathleen - I found the vinyl at Joanns and trie...Hi Kathleen - I found the vinyl at Joanns and tried this project this morning, but it was a total fail! The vinyl kept jumping all over the place while it was cutting, and turns out it didn't even cut it. Wish I knew what I was doing wrong :(Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01301601844716579625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196095864158514652.post-29834242022048502032013-07-10T09:44:33.304-04:002013-07-10T09:44:33.304-04:00Thanks so much Sandy!

I went back yesterday and its on sale right now :)<br /><br /><br />I completely understand being intimidated by the Silhouette. I'm still doing basic projects for now. I'll work my way up to more advanced projects soon!Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10556646999654445794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196095864158514652.post-63452997155862094642013-07-10T09:34:53.942-04:002013-07-10T09:34:53.942-04:00Hi Kathleen - I found you via your comment on The ...Hi Kathleen - I found you via your comment on The Seasoned Homemaker about the Silhouette machine. I love what you did with yours, and wonder where in Joanns you found that adhesive backed vinyl at? I have had my Silhouette machine for over a year now and am so intimidated by it.. isn't that silly? I really want to use it, and figure maybe if I start with a small project like this it will encourage me to keep going. BTW, I loved reading through your blog, your new baby girl is adorable and I love how you decorated her nursery. :)Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01301601844716579625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196095864158514652.post-31644150929457959832013-07-08T12:32:07.951-04:002013-07-08T12:32:07.951-04:00Thanks Tracy!

You do all the designs through a program on the computer, so its different from a Cricut in that way. Good luck with your projects - I can't wait to see what you come up with!Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10556646999654445794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196095864158514652.post-29896237149995974132013-07-08T12:30:10.926-04:002013-07-08T12:30:10.926-04:00Yes, I think you could do this one Kris!

Can't wait to see more! <br /><br />Does your Silhouette need to me connected the computer to work with the designs or can you transfer them via a flash drive?

I think I could even handle this DIY one!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17391787177968892245noreply@blogger.com
