💡 Pro Tips for Working with Cardinal SVG Files

  • Increase cut pressure slightly for glitter or specialty vinyl — these materials are thicker and require more force for clean, precise cuts.
  • Use the Contour tool to hide individual cut lines in complex Cardinal SVG designs when you want a simplified version for easier weeding.
  • Preheat your fabric for 3–5 seconds before applying HTV — this removes moisture and wrinkles for better adhesion and longer-lasting results.
