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 × 0.59 in (25 × 15 mm)	0.43 mm	265 mm	150	Too fine for most machines
2 × 1.18 in (51 × 30 mm)	0.86 mm	529 mm	40	Fine detail: vinyl and paper only, weed with care
3 × 1.77 in (76 × 45 mm)	1.3 mm	794 mm	18	Vinyl, card and thin sheet
4 × 2.36 in (102 × 60 mm)	1.7 mm	1,059 mm	8	Vinyl, card and thin sheet
6 × 3.53 in (152 × 90 mm)	2.6 mm	1,588 mm	3	Vinyl, card and thin sheet
8 × 4.71 in (203 × 120 mm)	3.5 mm	2,117 mm	2	Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic
12 × 7.07 in (305 × 180 mm)	5.2 mm	3,176 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.
