Hi ladies
My name is Sue and I have been lucky enough to have been given a Silhouette SD cutting machine

I am very new to these machines, as I have loads of dies that I use

I am just waiting for a new blade to be delivered as I had a bit of a problem cutting thick card. Just hope I have ordered the right one as the original blades are the coloured ones but the one I have ordered is the black one with a number dial and it did say it was compatible with all the machines

Looking forward to seeing all your ideas and hints and tips.... need as many as possible at the moment!

Welcome to the forum Sue, I'm sure you'll enjoy your machine as much as we all do. The blade's are interchangeable so the ratchet blade will be fine for your machine...it's recommended that you don't go any higher than 3 with your machine 1=blue cap 2=yellow cap and 3 =the pink cap

Thanks for that tip Doreen

I am sure that I would have turned it to the recommended number on the programme

If you're used to using Craft Artist you will know how to save your image..... you will then need to open whatever you want to cut in Studio and trace it to get cut lines. There's a screenshot below showing how to get your image into Studio...choose the format you saved it in from the dropdown box, find your image and open it. There are lots of videos showing how to do the tracing in Studio

Thank you for your very quick reply, I will try and have a go.

Oh I forgot to ask I got my Cameo second hand and when I try to register it won't let me. Is that because the lady who bought it first has done it, if so should I try and change it in to my name.
Sorry I know I have lots to ask and I am reading as much as I can.
Thanks
Sue
