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
0.48 × 1 in (12 × 25 mm)	Over 1.5 mm	73 mm	180	Vinyl, card and thin sheet
0.96 × 2 in (24 × 51 mm)	Over 3 mm	145 mm	50	Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic
1.43 × 3 in (36 × 76 mm)	Over 4.6 mm	218 mm	21	Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic
1.91 × 4 in (49 × 102 mm)	Over 6.1 mm	291 mm	10	Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic

5.74 × 12 in (146 × 305 mm)	Over 18 mm	872 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.
