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 × 1 in (25 × 25 mm)	1 mm	445 mm	100	Vinyl, card and thin sheet
2 × 2 in (51 × 51 mm)	2 mm	889 mm	25	Vinyl, card and thin sheet
3 × 3 in (76 × 76 mm)	3 mm	1,333 mm	9	Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic
4 × 4 in (102 × 102 mm)	4.1 mm	1,778 mm	4	Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic
6 × 6 in (152 × 152 mm)	6.1 mm	2,667 mm	1	Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic
8 × 8 in (203 × 203 mm)	8.1 mm	3,556 mm	1	Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic
12 × 12 in (305 × 305 mm)	12 mm	5,334 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.
