So many of you know I’ve recently launched The Nikki, In Stitches Craft Academy where I teach online classes. And, more specifically, my first program there is called Crafting With Your Silhouette, where we cover in detail how to use Silhouette cutting systems.
Well, it seems like A LOT of people received a Silhouette CAMEO or Portrait for Christmas and needed some help getting started with it.
To get everyone moving and grooving with their machines, I hosted a LIVE online class and it was SO MUCH FUN!
We covered where to find supplies, where to find free designs, what make good projects to start with, and then we actually went step-by-step through creating, cutting, and transferring your first design!
You can watch the replay of the class by clicking here.
It will be up FOREVER! You can rewatch, pause, and rewind as often as you’d like!
Enjoy,
Nikki, In Stitches

I get no sound on the beginners video
Michele,
It could be an issue just with whatever browser you’re using.
Try switching and see if that helps!
I am looking forward to the beginner’s class on the Cameo. I hope to check out some of your other classes also.
Let me know if you have questions after watching class, Mary Jane!!

I am new to using the portrait and was wondering when your next class is? I need help with this. I have watched youtube video after youtube video and this is not helping.
Hi Barbara!

But while you’re over there, be sure to drop your name in the email subscriber box. I do sent out how-to videos there specifically for Silhouette owners!
I just took my portrait out of the box after 2 years and I am overwelmed. I bought it with the intent of ONE project and I cant figure it out for the life of me.
Charlotte,
That’s why I’m here! I’m happy to help!
What’s the project you’re trying to make?
Can you please tell me where I can find the top 10 sites for free designs? Thank you!

How do I fill in block letters with color?
Stacy,
Are you trying to fill them for printing reasons or to draw with sketch pens???
Hi Nikki,
I have purchased a new Silhouette Cameo. However, I do not know where to begin or what to press. Can you point me in the direction of where to start with your online classes? Also, is there a way I can work in the program while I am taking the class or do I take notes? Lots of questions
