Look for a .PDF in the folder with the SVG file, it should have instructions in the name :)

Yes, most of my files can be cut by hand - but you will need to message me beforehand and ask if the particular listing is suitable for that use. If it is, I can create a .pdf for you to cut by hand at no extra charge. My files don’t include a .pdf by default, though.

SVG stands for scalable vector graphic. This file format can be used on electronic cutting machines such as Cricut, Silhouette, Brother Scan N Cut and more - but is not intended, or ideal, for cutting out by hand. I design all the pieces needed for a project and save them as an SVG file, and when you use the file on your machine, it will cut all the pieces out exactly as I created them. It's like magic!

Yes! All of my files that include a dashed cut file (it will say in the item's description if it has a dashed cut file - most of my projects do now) will work on a Silhouette machine. However, be aware that you do need to have an upgraded version (Designer Edition or higher) of the Silhouette Studio software for it to allow you to open SVG files. You can read more about the software versions here on Silhouette's website: https://www.silhouetteamerica.com/software/ss#upgrade

Yes! SVG files don't use pixels, so they can be resized to virtually any size, larger or smaller, and never lose quality. Your only limitations are the maximum size your machine can cut, and your paper size.

If you do resize a project, be sure to have all pieces selected and hold the shift key on your keyboard as you are making a change to the sizing. This will ensure all pieces are scaled proportionally and in relation to each other.
