I totally understand it can be overwhelming for CAMEO 4 beginners to know where to start even with all of the Silhouette resources we offer her at Silhouette School. For that reason I have created this Silhouette CAMEO 4 beginner hub for you! Before you get to all that, you might be wondering...what do I know?

Well...I know what it's like to be in your shoes! For Christmas 2013, my husband gave me a Silhouette Portrait for Christmas...and unable to find many helpful Silhouette beginner tutorials I started teaching myself and sharing what I learned on Silhouette School Blog. I've shared a free, new Silhouette tutorial on Silhouette School Blog everyday since...plus written 13 Silhouette guide books (now sold with the machine), launched a premium Silhouette membership service where I offer 1:1 silhouette help, exclusive videos, and more, taught at Silhouette conferences across the country, and consulted for and worked with dozens of retailers and manufacturers in the home crafting and small crafting/t-shirt/vinyl/sublimation business industry.

With all that said, below you'll find a Silhouette CAMEO 4 Beginner Video Series, a series of step by step beginner Silhouette CAMEO tutorials, a set of free Silhouette designs you can download (and use to follow along the videos and blog post in this beginner series) and my best advice for getting started. Plus how to cut the learning curve so you can start making projects and crafting with your CAMEO 4 for all the reasons you got it!

Where can I find a chart showing a comparison of what features each of the Silhouettes Cameos have starting with version 1?

Thanks for leaving a comment! We get several hundred comments a day. While we appreciate every single one of them it's nearly impossible to respond back to all of them, all the time. So... if you could help me by treating these comments like a forum where readers help readers.

In addition, don't forget to look for specific answers by using the Search Box on the blog. If you're still not having any luck, feel free to email me with your question.
