What makes it a peach

In one colour a peach is easily mistaken for an apple or a plum, so these files lean on the three things that set it apart: the crease that runs down one cheek, the soft point at the bottom and the long, narrow leaf. The crease is a cut line about 2.3 mm wide when the peach is 100 mm across. It is a single curved sliver to weed, and it is worth keeping even at small sizes, because without it the fruit reads as a plain ball.

The body is a broad, solid shape with no thin parts, so it cuts cleanly in vinyl, card, felt and wood. The weakest point is the stalk, about 4.5 mm wide, which carries the leaf. In plywood or acrylic below about 60 mm, pick the peach cut in half, which has no stalk at all.

Getting the colour right

Peach skin is two colours, a warm orange with a red blush on the side that faced the sun. The layered peach gives you both, with the blush as its own piece. With a single-colour design, cut the fruit from a coral or orange vinyl and the leaf from green, trimming each at the stalk. On paper, a little chalk or ink sponged onto one cheek does the same job as the blush.

How to open the files

• Cricut Design Space: choose Upload, pick the SVG, and add it to the canvas. Set the width you want; the shape is already welded.
• Silhouette Studio: Designer Edition and above open the SVG. The free Basic Edition does not, so open the DXF instead.
• LightBurn, xTool Creative Space and Glowforge: import the SVG, then set the layer to cut, score or engrave.
• Inkscape, Illustrator and Affinity: open the SVG. It is a plain filled path, so you can recolour it, add a stroke or combine it with your own work.
• Printing or sublimation: use the PNG, which has a transparent background.

Each design page lists the file’s narrowest part at seven sizes, so you can tell whether it will survive at the size you plan to cut.
