One long shallow bend that tightens only slightly from end to end, for the lines that are nearly straight: hips, lapels, a boat’s sheer. A slot down the middle and a hole to hang it by.

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 × 0.34 in (25 × 9 mm) | 0.64 mm | 85 mm | 220 | Fine detail: vinyl and paper only, weed with care |
| 2 × 0.67 in (51 × 17 mm) | 1.3 mm | 170 mm | 70 | Vinyl, card and thin sheet |
| 3 × 1 in (76 × 26 mm) | 1.9 mm | 255 mm | 30 | Vinyl, card and thin sheet |
| 4 × 1.34 in (102 × 34 mm) | 2.5 mm | 339 mm | 14 | Vinyl, card and thin sheet |
| 6 × 2.01 in (152 × 51 mm) | 3.8 mm | 509 mm | 5 | Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic |
| 8 × 2.68 in (203 × 68 mm) | 5.1 mm | 679 mm | 4 | Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic |
| 12 × 4.02 in (305 × 102 mm) | 7.6 mm | 1,018 mm | 2 | 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.
