I have watched this video so many times for help with my Portrait. I so appreciate you for taking time out of your day to teach us how to use the machine. All the best to you and thank you so much!
I'm sooo glad that my video was able to help!!!
Awesome information and very detailed step by step process. You should do more videos on tutorials because your knowledge is very helpful and easy to follow. Thanks for the tips!
Love your stickers. 🌹
Thank you! I'm glad the video was easy to understand and helpful! And I hope to more over time:)
Thank You so much!!!! I was able to cut a printable sticker sheet for the first time after trying and failing multiple times. I might actually be able to use this machine for the purposes I bought it for.
Yay!!! I'm so glad I was able to help!!!
I soooo appreciate your help. Didn’t even realize what was working before wasn’t even right to begin with. I eventually ran into a problem and learned from you that I was doing it wrong😅😂 it’s a surprise it was working at all. Thank you for taking the time to make this ❤
You're so welcome! Glad I could help ♥️
Drift and cut!!! Lady you have saved me from going crazy! My cuts almost always do this and I never knew what to do for it. Thank you! I'm going to try what you suggested. :)
Mine too! I'm not sure if it's just these Portrait machines, since I've never used other ones, but it has been an issue for a long while with no 100% solutions. So I've had to do what I can. Manually moving the cut lines in the direction needed seems to be the best way to get better results when drift cut is bad, but it's so frustrating and time consuming. But, what can we do, right? It's not like most of us have the money to buy a bunch of other machines to see which gives the best results lol.
Thank you so much for this video, I just got my portrait today and it cut beautiful!! Unlike the other name brand machines I have😔 I’d love to see more tutorials💕
I'm so glad my tutorial was of help! What other tutorials would you be interested in seeing?
@@honeytulipcreations9307 any tutorials on tips and tricks for silhouette. I’ve never designed or used the program before I got my portrait. Maybe one showing placement of stickers and size to maximize using the most of your sheet would be helpful. If you do actual sticker sheets a tutorial would be great for that also. Thank you.
@@honeytulipcreations9307 about the stickers sheet, how to create the background, and then the setting to cut the background out and kiss cut the stickers.
@@lisaann1531 So are you wanting a tutorial on how I design a whole sticker sheet, like the mermaid set I cut in the tutorial?
@@honeytulipcreations9307 sure, anything to learn all the buttons and if you need to flatten them. I’ve never used silhouette studio so I’m learning and watching some videos but you explain things really well.
Thank you for the very detailed, easy to follow instructions. I finally bit the bullet and bought one just for personal use and was a bit daunted. But you took all that worry right off my shoulders. I feel like with this as the founation I'll be able to go in and adjust thing very easily from here. Thank you for one of the best tutorials I've come across. #ConfidenceBoosted
I'm so glad I was able to help... it's the only reason I made the video in the first...to help where I felt help was limited😊
I struggled then I found this!! Thank you!!! xxx
So glad I could help ♥️
This was SO helpful and clear! Thank you so much for this tutorial! Much appreciated :)
Of course! Glad I was able to help!
Thank you for the great tutorial. Helped immensely. Keep up the great work!
So happy to help!
I found that the drifting cut line issue is solved by downloading an earlier version of the software and to turn off automatic updates. Ever since, I've not had a single drifting cut line. I hope this helps someone. Great video btw!
i will try this, what version works for you? my issue is those drifting lines on cameo 4
please share the version you're using!!
Thank you for this great video. I was wondering why the red cut line is shown twice in the line view.
Glad to help ☺️
Yeah it helps so much! Thank you for the tutorial 😇😇
Glad to help☺️
I would like to see a video on how you make your stickers in silhouette studio.
Great! I will work up a video first chance I get 😁
absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for this video, it fixed my issues right away
So glad I could help!
Thanks so much for sharing the instructions!
Of course! Glad to help☺️
Very helpful video, thank you for posting this.
Of course!
oh that's my prob with cameo 4, the drifting cuts towards the bottom right. it starts off accurate in the top left then slowly goes off as it cuts towards the bottom right.
Yup, that was the problem I always had
Thank u🌷🙏🏻☺️
Thank you! More turorial please
Thank you so much.
Of course!
Thank you so much for this video! Unfortunately, I have a brand new Silhouette Portrait 3 I got yesterday and I am having problems with the drifting. It is a nightmare, I’m curious if you figured another way to avoid this problem? 😊
Unfortunately the only thing helps my drifting issues is a brand new mat or taping paper to mat. But even doing this does not always work. And moving actual cut lines in the document always helps though it is terribly time consuming. Also, make sure your paper is covering the gray or black lines of your mat when you are placing your paper on the mat. These things have helped but nothing is a guarantee to help all the time.
@@honeytulipcreations9307 Thank you! Yes, it is really frustrating. I found out that I just need adjust the cut lines to get it looking how I want. But thank you for the tips, truly appreciate it
Thanks for this good tutorial! Just wanna ask if the lines on the mat should be visible when placing the paper or not? I'm kind of having a hard time with mine and I don't really have any idea on what is the right one.😅
I'm glad it was helpful! As for the lines, I line my paper up on the mat on top of the lines, making sure not to go past them. When I've placed my paper directing below/alongside the guide lines, my registration would fail or the cut would be really off.
Hi! Thanks for this video. Do you suggest to buy Silhouette Portrait 3 or the Cameo 4?
I have only ever used a Portrait 3, so I have no way to compare with any other machines.
hello was wondering if u ever had problems having registration problem
Whenever I get registration issues, I check two things...lighting and paper on mat placement...I have a lamp that is bent directly over the cutter so that the machine can read the marks correctly...and if the paper left corner and top are not directly covering the mat guide lines, the registration will fail most times...if I know the lighting is good and my mat guide lines are covered by the paper and I still get failed registration, then I unplug the machine for a few seconds and plug back in...this always seems to do the trick...and of course, I never change my registration settings, so make sure you watch that part of the video to see the settings I use...hope this helps
@@honeytulipcreations9307 thank u will try that
Hi! I’m not planning to use portrait 3 for stickers. I do make souvenirs made of special paper with thickness of 220 GSM and i’m planning to buy this machine to assist me with simple cutting while i do the rest of the designs by hand. Would you know if this can cut thru 220 GSM thickness of vellum board? Thank you and hoping to hear from you.
Hi! Honestly, I have no idea the maximum material thickness the Portrait 3 is capable of cutting, but I can tell you from experience that just with the auto blade it comes with, it won't cut through 80lb cardstock laminated with 5 mil lamination. There could be a deep cut blade that could be used with this machine, but that is something I have not had the chance to look into. It would be worth researching though.
Hi, thank you for sharing video on how to print and cut using Portrait 3, i tried following all your instruction but unsuccessful with cutting :( portrait is not recognizing the registration marks, i tried to do it manually but i'm unsure how to use the manual so still unsuccessful! please help! i've wasted a lot of sticker paper already :( Thanks in advance!
Hi there! Well, the only other tips I can tell you is one, make sure you have adequate light shining down on your machine, especially the blade area (I have a lamp that sits directly over my cutter), and two, you can go over your registration marks by hand with a fine tip marker or pen to make them darker (sometimes they don't print dark enough and cutter can read them).
Also, sometimes my machine just gets tired after a bunch of cuts and starts acting silly, so I will turn it off and unplug it's cord and then plug it back in...this seems to help.
I was able to print and cut without issue! Thank you for your advice☺️
how do you add the registration mark on your sticker sheet?
You have to either design your sticker sheet in Silhouette Studio and then print it through the studio or design your sticker sheet elsewhere and bring it into studio and print it.

Hi, what kind of tape did you use? Thank you.
Hi...I just use basic scotch tape
Hi.
Can I cut 2 Mil thick Stencil Sheets, Transparent Clear Plastic Film on the Portrait machine?
Thanks
Hello! I'm not sure, but besides sticker paper and 80lb cardstock, I've also cut 3mil laminated items just fine with the Silhouette. I tried cutting 5mil laminated items but even at the highest force and several repeat cuts it just would not cut all the way through.
@@honeytulipcreations9307 Okay, thanks for the reply.
@@jorgesolari8952 of course🙂
How do you add multiple cut lines? You have both purple and red for different cut depths but I just have 1. Do you know how to add multiple rows like you have in the video?
Okay, so if you watch my video Silhouette Studio Tools for Creating Stickers, I explain about cut lines and how to get different ones and using different colors for each type...let me know if that helps:)
As for adding multiple rows, I explain how to do this in my video How to Make Stickers with Silhouette Portrait 3 (playground sticker). If you still have questions, I'll be more than happy to help you further if I can:)
Very helpful video! I will try your settings as a baseline and go from there 😊 What sticker paper do you use in this video? I am in the UK and got some matte sticker paper from Amazon. I was wondering which you use, to compare thickness, etc. Thank you! 🤗
Glad to help 😁 I use premium matte sticker paper from compnsave.com
@@honeytulipcreations9307 Thanks ever so much! I'll see if I can find it here, or at least something similar. Love your videos, very helpful and well presented, so easy to follow! 😁
