    Just bought the Cameo from http://www.mdpsupplies.co.uk/silhouette-cameo-packc.asp
    If anybody has any useful tips for a complete novice in this field please share.

    it includes

    1 x Tutorial DVD (PC / MAC) containing video tutorial, cutting templates and examples

    so i suggest before you plug anything in a cup of tea/coffee and have a good watch, also google is your friend,

    cut simple to start as its easy to set up the machine and cut small, than waste mtrs of vinyl. make sure vinyl is right way up (clear carrier sheet is on the bottom) and image is mirrored - unless cutting vehicle vinyl in which case image is non-mirrored.

    I have brought one, a couple of weeks ago, I haven't had time to get my head around it yet, hoping to find some one near me that I can pay to show me how, not enough time at the present to learn from Google, but I image thats what I'm going to have to do as all the craft people I know use a different machine, I suppose I could advertise for someone

    Very impressive, easy to set up and easy to use.
    After half an hour messing about with it getting the vinyl on the mat the right way and mirroring text ect I soon made
    a quick tee with text and an image.

    You don't need the cutting mat for vinyl

    I would love to do that but at this time and moment and till the summer I'm tied up learning something else, but I've always wanted to learn to use a cutter, glad your getting on pity you didn't live close I pay for lesson. But it will have to wait, My husband has 6 weeks leave and that's when I intend to sit and be a you tube watcher. What forum would you recommend

    I don't think I would be up to giving lessons out yet after 1 T shirt.
    Watch the instructional dvd that comes with it,I was surprised I was able to
    do it without hours of cocking it up tbh.
    Theres a couple of posts in these forums somewhere all saying good things about it and if you you tube cameo/craft robo theres
    a few quick vids on there.
