If you have a preferred interfacing brand, you may certainly attempt to use it to determine if it may be compatible with cutting in our tool, but we are not able to endorse or guarantee any other brands for use with the Silhouette other than our own Silhouette brand interfacing. Select felt materials can be cut with most Silhouette cutting models if the felt material is stiffened. Many general felt materials, including non-stiffened felts, can be cut successfully with the Cameo 4 model series when using a Rotary Blade.
Please note that not all felt materials can be cut well with Silhouette cutting machines. The ability to successfully cut felt will depend on the thickness, density, and flexibility of the felt material, as well as the level of stickiness of the cutting mat in use. We have no current plans to create another cutting unit specifically made for the purpose of cutting fondant or gum paste materials.
We are aware that some users have claimed to have made modifications to their Silhouette cutting machine to cut such specialty materials. Silhouette does not offer support for machine modifications. We also do not have special blades or mats that would be required for cutting such materials specifically. The Silhouette can successfully cut wax paper and freezer paper on the Print Paper default setting. Silhouette machines that have a 2 mm or higher clearance can cut fun foam when using a Kraft Blade or Deep Cut Blade.
Fun foam is too thick for the standard blade and some older Silhouette models do not have the proper height clearance for such thicker materials. To adjust the blade the correct number for your foam, you can extend the blade and line it up nest to the material's width.
Your blade should rest on the material and the blade tip should extend just enough to touch the cutting mat lightly. They always say to wash fabric to remove any stabilizers so the heat n bond will bond correctly. Is starch a stabilizer? I'm not sure. Thank you so much for the info I have a cameo silhouette and I love the machine very much Therefore I was trying to find Cameo tutorials that cut fabric without having to use the heat and bond or freezer paper?
Thank you so much for these instructions! I am in the process of doing them now after fighting with freezer paper yesterday LOL. I've used a cameo for years now and always hated the darn fusible! Tried a couple different brands and found some that are better, but I've always wanted to be able to cut without it! I've never seen anyone suggest using heavy starch instead of interfacing and like I said Thanks so much for sharing!
I'm sure SilhouetteAmerica loves this! Post a Comment I would love to hear your thoughts Please share! Cut Fabric with a Silhouette Cameo? Posted by Welmoed Sisson on April 12, It's no surprise that I love my Silhouette Cameo cutter. I keep finding new ways to use it! The latest discovery is that I can cut fabric on it, without having to fuse the fabric to an interfacing first! This is great, because interfacing permanently changes the hand of the fabric, and sometimes I just don't want that.
But cutting fabric without it can result in a snarled mess. So what's the answer? You need a Secret Weapon:. When it's done, unload the mat and peel off the excess fabric. Then you can carefully remove your perfectly-cut design! Unknown April 12, at PM. Unknown April 28, at AM. Welmoed Sisson April 28, at AM. Michelle May 1, at PM. Welmoed Sisson May 25, at AM.

Thanks for all the hard work you put into this to make my life easier!
Wow- thanks so much for this! Super exciting, I can't wait to cut some fabric! I'll be linking to your tute too. Thanks for the tutorial! Try that — no difference!!! Good to know that worked for you! I would be afraid to ruin my machine. Crafting is cheaper than therapy, right? Or shoe shopping Happy crafting!
