Are you using the trace feature on the black cut template? I typically open the template up in a separate file, then go ahead and trace it there. Then delete the black portion so I am only left with the trace/ cut lines. Then I copy it and paste it directly over the print file.

That’s odd...I’m not sure. I just traced these out and cut them over the weekend and as far as I know I have the latest version and didn’t have any trouble.

Gray? Grey? I actually prefer the spelling with the 'E' but here in the U.S. we use the 'A' so I went with that. Many years ago, when we first moved into our house, my husband and I made a... Continue reading

I don't know that there is a trick but I made sure both sets are scaled the same but if you've already done that and it's not working still you can select the 'traced images' and go to Object> release compound path and that will ungroup all of the tracing lines so you can move them individually.

So happy you like them!

That's so great, Denise! I love the closeness in age that my youngest two have and so I am excited that there will be one more! It's so much fun when they start playing together. It took a while for my youngest two to be able to play together (they are 4 and almost 2 now) but now they are great buddies- just like you said! I am still a little nervous about my youngest adapting to another sibling, because she is such a glue stick to me. But she has gotten better recently about going to her dad or my oldest for comfort which gives me hope ;)

Great idea! Glad you found something that worked for you. I just put up a new label and with that one I added a 'blank' solid black version specifically made for just using the trace function. The blank version can be used to trace and then copied and pasted over the print files so it takes out the work of adjusting the different trace values. Let me know if you try it and how it works for you! I'm so glad you like them and are able to use them!

Hi Denise! I'm not sure- are you referring to the black ones or the multicolor February ones? I haven't had any trouble cutting either one out so I am not sure. There was an issue on the black ones being downloaded but it was a problem with the file name not being read by Windows. Other than that I haven't heard from anyone that they have had problems with any of them. All of the files are the same (just color changes) so if you are having an issue with a particular one you might be able to just copy the trace layer from another and place it right over the top of the one you are having issues with. They should line up perfect as long as the scaling is the same.

What has worked for me is making sure I have the lid open on my silhouette and good lighting. I actually have a desk lamp that I bring over and shine directly over the blade area and that is when I have the best results. Also having my machine on a flat surface...and make sure when you are placing the registration marks on your page that the overlapping gray grid lines don't cover any area of the design or adjust the registration mark settings (you may have scale down the design- I usually scale it down by 95%) Occasionally if I have trouble I have restarted my machine and the silhouette software, but usually any issue I have with registration marks comes from poor lighting into the machine. I hope that helps!
