Where to Start on Silhouette Secrets+
I have been writing and teaching Silhouette since 2016, which means there are is a lot of information, tutorials, and class information on the blog. I have organized it in a Silhouette Guide: A to Z content list to help make it easier to find something you are looking for.
A to Z table of contents: Scroll down the page to see the full list of from A to Z. Click the blue word to find out more information on that topic.
Search bar: If you know the keyword you are looking for, type it into the search and all posts should come up with more information.
On a computer, the search is on the right side of the page or on a mobile device, you have to scroll down to the bottom.
Beginner Class: If you are new to Silhouette, I would highly recommend the Beginner Setup & First Cuts with Silhouette video class. It is one of my most popular classes and will get your first cuts under your belt and setup up properly.
Check it out HERE

Silhouette Studio Software: The Silhouette software can be overwhelming if you just open it and look at it. But, you do NOT have to learn it all at once.
Click HERE for 10 Let’s Explore v4 Tools to Get Started With to make it easier.
Mastering these tools will help you in your future projects
