💡 Pro Tips for Working with Free Cat 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 Free Cat 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.
