Reason #125 why I should buy a Silhouette machine
I never really used stencils much... until recently. Buying original ones is not easy for me - they are not available (or sold our quickly) here and importing them is a bit expensive.

Somewhere in the middle of the process, when my fingers, shoulder and back hurt, I check the availability of a Silhouette Cameo on our market and then get back to hand-cutting. But I'm getting better. And it's getting addictive. I see the patterns everywhere. The first question is - would I be able to cut this shape by hand? and if I say YES, then it's "sorry, my aching body"...

I am embarrassed because I own a Silhouette and have not cut anything but a piece of plastic, which jammed and I panicked. Love your templates and as soon as I move some junk, will give it a try.
ReplyDeleteYour stencils are awesome, my hands ache just looking at them. :-)
