Nearly straight for most of its length, then a tight turn at one end: the pattern cutter’s curve, for hems and side seams along the blade and necklines and armholes round the hook. A slot runs down the middle.

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 × 0.44 in (25 × 11 mm) | 0.41 mm | 106 mm | 190 | Too fine for most machines |
| 2 × 0.88 in (51 × 22 mm) | 0.81 mm | 211 mm | 55 | Fine detail: vinyl and paper only, weed with care |
| 3 × 1.31 in (76 × 33 mm) | 1.2 mm | 317 mm | 24 | Vinyl, card and thin sheet |
| 4 × 1.75 in (102 × 45 mm) | 1.6 mm | 423 mm | 12 | Vinyl, card and thin sheet |
| 6 × 2.63 in (152 × 67 mm) | 2.4 mm | 634 mm | 4 | Vinyl, card and thin sheet |
| 8 × 3.5 in (203 × 89 mm) | 3.3 mm | 845 mm | 3 | Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic |
| 12 × 5.26 in (305 × 134 mm) | 4.9 mm | 1,268 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.
