Congratulations on your purchase of a Silhouette bundle from Swing Designs! Your bundle includes an exclusive getting started booklet,The Ultimate Silhouette Beginner Guide to Vinyl, to get you started cutting now.
As the blogger behind the hugely popular (and always free), Silhouette School, and the author of the 150 page The Ultimate Silhouette Guide and The Ultimate Silhouette Guide series I get emails daily from new Silhouette users with questions and frustrations about their first vinyl project.
The problem almost always stems from their first project, quite frankly, not being beginner level. Learning to use the Silhouette Studio software, CAMEO or Portrait and vinyl is like anything else - you take baby steps and add on more advanced functions as you go!
