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
0.41 × 1 in (10 × 25 mm)	0.33 mm	165 mm	200	Too fine for most machines
0.82 × 2 in (21 × 51 mm)	0.66 mm	329 mm	60	Fine detail: vinyl and paper only, weed with care
1.22 × 3 in (31 × 76 mm)	0.99 mm	494 mm	24	Fine detail: vinyl and paper only, weed with care
1.63 × 4 in (41 × 102 mm)	1.3 mm	658 mm	12	Vinyl, card and thin sheet
2.45 × 6 in (62 × 152 mm)	2 mm	988 mm	4	Vinyl, card and thin sheet
3.26 × 8 in (83 × 203 mm)	2.6 mm	1,317 mm	3	Vinyl, card and thin sheet
4.9 × 12 in (124 × 305 mm)	4 mm	1,975 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.
