Hi there, this is my last blog post for 2015, and I'm really looking forward to 2016, and I hope you do, too. And this is a very great tip of the day, How to use the REVEAL in Silhouette Studio When you have finished your design and it is time for cut it out, the REVEAL is very handy. At the Top Tool Bar you "open Design Page Settings Windows" Go down to the Reveal Drag the handle to 100% Now you can see the number on your cutting mat. It makes everything so much easier to line up your paper on the cutting mat, now when you know where the design are, and if you also have a lot of different colors of paper/vinyl etc to cut out, you are able to make it just once, instead of cutting and loading your cutting mat for every single color. Happy Creating;)
