Tips for Cutting your own Stencil Masks
Silhouette Portrait
Settings:
- Blade: 4
- Speed: 5
- Thickness: 15
- Double Cut
At a thickness of 15, the silhouette cuts through the mask material, but not the backing. Which I like so that I can easily place my mask back on the backing sheet after I’m done using it.

Settings:
- Blade: 4
- Speed: 5
- Pressure: 2
I did these settings so that the machine cuts through only the mask material and not the backing, just like on my Silhouette.
