I want to leave you with one last photo. This is a succulent I cut from inexpensive craft felt with the CAMEO 4’s rotary blade that I’ve been secretly trying out for a few weeks. Cool, huh?
Here’s Silhouette’s short video to show the new features:
This is exciting! What are the physical dimensions of the ‘4’ ? Thanks!
Hi Leslie. It is about 22.5″ wide x 7.5 ” deep x 6.75″ tall. Those aren’t official dimensions. I just measured mine with a ruler. 🙂
Do you like the Cameo 4? Is it worth the upgrade? And is the learning curve steep?
Yes, yes, and yes. I do like the Cameo 4, but I also feel the learning curve is steeper than previous Cameo models. If you’re using the left side of the tool holder than it’s just as easy as any previous Cameo model. Once you start trying to use the extra force and specialty blades in the right side, then it’s a whole new ballgame.
It took me a bit to get comfortable with some of these machines like the Alta and the Curio, but once I figured it out and had success, it has been fun ever since. So yes, there is a bigger learning curve, but it will be great in the end. If that bothers you, then I suggest waiting a few months and let others figure out the worst part of the learning curve for you before you take the plunge. I still love my older Cameos for super-easy, super consistent, no-brainer projects. 🙂
I hope that helps!
