Rope border SVG
A straight band with ten slanting S-shaped cuts across it, so it reads as a twisted rope. The cuts stop short of the edges, so the strip stays one piece.

Will it cut at your size?
Scaling a design scales its thinnest part too. Here is this one at seven sizes, from 1 to 12 inches on its longer side, with how many copies fit a 12 × 12 inch sheet or mat.
| Size, width × height | Narrowest part | Cut length | Fit on a 12 in sheet | Rule of thumb |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 × 0.13 in (25 × 3 mm) | 0.51 mm | 129 mm | 360 | Fine detail: vinyl and paper only, weed with care |
| 2 × 0.26 in (51 × 7 mm) | 1 mm | 258 mm | 130 | Vinyl, card and thin sheet |
| 3 × 0.39 in (76 × 10 mm) | 1.5 mm | 387 mm | 60 | Vinyl, card and thin sheet |
| 4 × 0.52 in (102 × 13 mm) | 2 mm | 516 mm | 32 | Vinyl, card and thin sheet |
| 6 × 0.78 in (152 × 20 mm) | 3 mm | 774 mm | 12 | Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic |
| 8 × 1.04 in (203 × 26 mm) | 4.1 mm | 1,032 mm | 9 | Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic |
| 12 × 1.56 in (305 × 40 mm) | 6.1 mm | 1,548 mm | 6 | Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic |
The narrowest part is the thinnest neck that holds the design together; sharp tips are not counted. For wood and acrylic, keep it at least as wide as the sheet is thick. How to open the file in Cricut, Silhouette and laser software.
