Your Silhouette tutorials are my absolute favorites because of your clarity of knowledge, your easy and cheerful demeanor, and the way you break down each subject per video. Again, I appreciate you!

[creativelady]

Thank you, Becky! This was very clear and I needed to learn and understand these tools!

[cstump]

Thank you so much for your videos! What a help they’ve been

[elsagarcia]

I LOVE how you teach! So easy to understand! I will be coming back to this video again and again! Thank you!

You are the best instructor ever. 🥇🏆thank you 🏆🥇

You've answered my prayers Becky, after years of ignoring it or struggling with it I now have a much better understanding of the compound path tool, thank you so much. Please keep your videos coming!

[creativelady]

Becky! I love this video and gained a very good knowledge of these tools and concepts. I backed it up for replay several times throughout and made notes. I have played with the compound path tool but never really understood what was happening to my objects. Now I do! I love your closing statements on not being afraid to experiment and play around with these tools in the software. I totally believe, too, that the only way to grasp it is to DO it. Thank you!

HI Becky another great video and explanations. I have already experienced some of the errors you explained. Still struggling and your videos are great teachers.

message from France. You are wonderful, we love you very much

Becky, you are awesome! I recently bought a Silhouette Portrait 3 and have watched several of your videos. What a fun experience! You make everything so straightforward and easy to understand. Thank you!

[beckyu]

I have learned so much about this software from you. Thank you Becky

[chrissypooh]

I wish I had found you back when I was new at this. I struggled and struggled. You make it look so simple (relative term!). Thanks for the information~

As usual you take me to another level of designing. I never really understood the compound path thing and learned by making mistakes. Now I know Why. Thank you so much for your clear and understandable explanation. Amazing as usual.

I love understanding each step instead of trying to just follow along copying steps. Releasing/making compound paths was something I did not understand as a Cricut-er with design space being my most used designing app. Now that I’m learning to make my own Svg files for my Glowforge machine that’s on it’s way, it’s really important to me to understand each term/tool in silhouette studio. I’ve watched many of your videos since starting to learn this new software a week ago and I just wanted to say, yet again, you nailed exactly what I was looking for!
Thank you for being so thorough and explaining it in a way that anyone with different levels of experience can understand. Thanks for making these videos <3

New subscriber thank you for all your help

[margoshepherd]

Thank you so much! Everyone else mentions when to make or release, but I've never understood what it actually does.
