    I'm just starting with my silhouette cameo and by far you're the only person here on CZcams that has actually gone into detail, well at least from the past videos I've watched. You've brought so much clarity to me and I'm excited to see your latest content. Thank You.

    i have subscribed to your channel and have been watching your awesome and informative tutorials and videos. i started with cricut then purchased sawgrass hg 1000 for submlimation. recently purchase cameo 4 pro. hasnt arrived yet. im hopeing the cameo will conform with the print setting for saw grass suplimation print and cut bc ive done prints on cricut creative studio then on sgprint manager software and the options for substraits and detail are so much better in the end results. are you familiar with sublimation when it comes to print and cut options for setting up detailed substraits and paper types from cameo to print then cut? its perfect when sending through printer from sawgrass creative studio but not good from cricut design space. hoping the new one will be compatible with the registration marks and countouring along with the vibrant colors i get from my sg1000 subprinter on the vinyl cuts for shirts caps etc. THANKS

      If it were me now, i would order the machine by itself, and get a bunch of vinyl from my craft source. You can get small rolls really low cost. You can get mats at hobby lobby (paper studio) too. Amazon is great for some of those little accessories youll need. You'll end up saving a lot of money and you probably won't use a lot of the stuff that come in the kits! ❤️

    Hi, Sallie
    I just came across your channel and it’s so informative, I have a question if you don’t mind, what kind of printer can I use to make huge decal vinyl floor wraps for wedding dance floors? I’m interested in that,please let me know if you have any suggestions 🤗 Thank you

    What is the name of your wood cutting machine? And all the tools you use to make the wood frames.

      Hi! I actually have a video on everything you need to create wood signs. It will be very helpful in answering this question 😊

    While this is great information, I think there are more important things such as copyright and using fonts on dafont is not allowed on products you sell unless you have the commercial use license. :( I think that should be discussed more as it is very important

      I do go into copyright on my video "do this before starting your etsy shop". This video was based on ifems and supplies mostly. 😊 these videos are part of a series of videos I've been doing on starting a shop.
