Your questions answered (and new Silhouette release!)

New Digital Designs announced in the Silhouette newsletter today: 8 Hanukkah shapes and 12 for the 12 Days of Christmas!

I know that my blog posts are never going to be as popular as Jake's because I don't have free Digital Designs for you. All I can offer is good grammar and a wealth of QuicKutz knowledge!  :)   Questions that were posted in recent comments to this blog are in bold. Have another question? Leave it as a comment to this entry!

I am wondering if you will have the Sweetheart or Jingle fonts for the Squeeze?

Okay, so when it comes to asking about future product releases, the best answer that I can provide is this: Anything is possible. Most of our products are in the works for several months before they are released, but nothing is absolutely certain until you see it in a newsletter.  What I can do, though, is pass along requests (this question indicates that you would like to see these alphabets for Squeeze) to the product development team.

Are these items [Digital Design Portfolios and Adhesive Vinyl] in stores yet?

Both the Portfolio CDs and the rolls of Adhesive Vinyl will be shipping to retailers in the next couple weeks. Vinyl probably will arrive shortly before the CDs. You should be able to have them in your hands by the end of the year!

Can someone tell me how to download the free files into my library?

Helen had it right: Set up a folder to save .gsd files in. Then when you save .gsd files, save them in that folder. When you are in the Silhouette software, Do a FILE => OPEN and look in the folder that you saved your .gsd file in and you will find your file.

That's all for now. Keep the questions coming and please, for my sanity, keep telling Jake that he's great. It keeps him quietly programming new website frills and free digital designs inside his cubicle. ;)

Hi Yvette,

I don't have the Shillouette...yet. So, you offer of passing on requests to the development team totally trumps free downloads!! :D

I would love to see 2x2 numbers that match the Blossom font for my Squeeze. I love that font so much!

When is Silhouette QK going to upgrade their software to compete with the two others out there?

Please keep your customers in the loop as to what is going on -- hate to buy one of the others waiting and not knowing.

I cannot get my silhouette to print - I have set up the robo as a printer, I can do a test print, and when I tell it to output to robo cutter, my cutter acts like it is going to work, but once I hit the cut key - it sits in lala land.

thank you for your help.

I have several other die cut systems (Yikes...did I just admit that to Quickutz?). But, I am...and will continue to be a Quickutz Girl at heart! But, given that I have so many systems, the Sillouette is unfortunately not going to be on my horizon. I have at least 8 zip aorunds that are packed...and then some that don't fit. Then there is my Revolution and all of those dies too! Those collections continue to grow on a regular basis (thanks santa for the 4 cookie cutter alphabets!)...and my recent acquisition...retired Eliza mini!!! So, given that I am a loyal Quickutz fan (and constantly recruiting anyone that I can into my Quickutz world!) I am concerned that I see all of the new products are for the Sillouette. Please tell me that you are not leaving the "Squeezies" behind! Thanks!

Question: Are all of the previous Quickutz shape and alphabet releases available to purchase for download?

Need help with silhouette. Scanned images cut irregular? What am I doing wrong?

I have been waiting for mac-compatible version of the Silhouette. Is the new SD the answer for me. Is the SD card compatible with MAC or will have have to use a PC?

When I need a shape in my libray I click on Libary and it has to download each time, is there something I am not doing.

When the libary is finished downloading all of the shapes are red outlined, not color or detail, what can I do to change this and see them as when I shop for them?
