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 × 0.78 in (25 × 20 mm)	0.43 mm	420 mm	120	Too fine for most machines
2 × 1.57 in (51 × 40 mm)	0.86 mm	839 mm	30	Fine detail: vinyl and paper only, weed with care
3 × 2.35 in (76 × 60 mm)	1.3 mm	1,259 mm	12	Vinyl, card and thin sheet
4 × 3.13 in (102 × 80 mm)	1.7 mm	1,678 mm	6	Vinyl, card and thin sheet
6 × 4.7 in (152 × 119 mm)	2.6 mm	2,518 mm	2	Vinyl, card and thin sheet
8 × 6.26 in (203 × 159 mm)	3.5 mm	3,357 mm	1	Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic
12 × 9.4 in (305 × 239 mm)	5.2 mm	5,035 mm	1	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.
