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 × 0.75 in (25 × 19 mm) | 0.36 mm | 568 mm | 120 | Too fine for most machines |
| 2 × 1.5 in (51 × 38 mm) | 0.71 mm | 1,136 mm | 35 | Fine detail: vinyl and paper only, weed with care |
| 3 × 2.25 in (76 × 57 mm) | 1.1 mm | 1,704 mm | 12 | Vinyl, card and thin sheet |
| 4 × 3 in (102 × 76 mm) | 1.4 mm | 2,272 mm | 6 | Vinyl, card and thin sheet |
| 6 × 4.5 in (152 × 114 mm) | 2.1 mm | 3,408 mm | 2 | Vinyl, card and thin sheet |
| 8 × 6 in (203 × 152 mm) | 2.8 mm | 4,544 mm | 1 | Vinyl, card and thin sheet |
| 12 × 9 in (305 × 229 mm) | 4.3 mm | 6,815 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.
