I give this site 5 stars because the I find MANY useful videos, and other material here. I added the "but" in the review title for the following reason:
There is something here for any and everybody who uses Silhouette products. BUT... I work ONLY in PAPER. I do not work with vinyl or fabric. I do not have a laser cutter/engraver, nor a 3D printer. This site includes a LOT of material on those subjects, which are of little or no interest to me. Good for other users, but not me.
Yet I rate it 5 stars for the value I have gotten from papercraft related topics. I just have to wade thru a lot of material to get to it.
I like the videos and the ability to get questions answered in a rather quick manner.
I joined several years ago. I use a SA Cameo 3 and 5A. This is my "GO TO" site for a refresher or to learn about how to use a new feature or to trouble shoot my cutting issues. If I email support - I get ALWAYS get an answer!
This membership is so worth it! Very responsive to questions, the site is packed with information and all the files for your crafting needs are here! Love them!!
Any question is answered quickly and there is lots of information on the site.
Melissa is very knowledgeable & an extraordinary teacher. She has integrity. Responds quickly, constantly updates new technology, addresses earlier versions & tech issues. She’s also kind & patient. It's worth every penny. (No we are not related—This is sincere feedback 😃)
I love that I can't reply each session as I am doing the process. Everything is easy to follow. I am not good with computers but the speed of teaching works well for me
I had let my subscription lapse but when given the opportunity to rejoin it was a no brainer. Melissa is excellent at support and addressing the "issues". I appreciate the support and enjoy the crafting!
I bought a Silhouette Cameo and it stayed on my desk for a year with little use because I couldn't figure it out. I even moved it to a shelf for a while and thought I might sell it or even give it away. Then I decided togive it one more try. I joined Silhouette University, downloaded some books and now I am learning how to get the most out of this wonderful machine. I'm not an expert yet, but I can do some of the things I wanted to do, and I am learning more every day. Since I am71 years old I probably won't ever be an expert, but my Silhouette will stay on my desk for good!
The best way to learn how to use a Silhouette machine. Questions are answered quickly/ Help is provided when needed. Plus you get credits to use that covers y0ur cost!
I really appreciate having experts to answer my questions.
Everything is available for when u need it. I have not used much at this time however info is there when I need it- staff is more than helpful.
I have a great experience with Melissa and her videos, i brought a silhouette machine and I am been learning so much through her teaching, the videos are very informative.
Love all the content within SilhouetteU.
Melissa explains everything in great detail as well as showing what she is doing,. I’ve learned a lot from the videos, and most importantly- why she is doing it.
I purchased my Silhouette Cameo five months ago and have been a member of Silhouette U for just over three months. I have worked 1:1 with Melissa three times - once during office hours and twice by email. I love detailed cuts and Melissa has helped me immensely - so that I saved a lot of time, aggravation and material cost. This has also allowed me to create my own designs - something I really wanted to do.
I haven't yet perfected the multi-layer cutting of my own pet images, but Melissa's guidance has me well on my way.
Being a subscriber of Silhouette U is a small investment in your cutting journey. It is well worth the cost, even with the conversion rates.
I don't shop with you however I do watch your videos and product reviews. Those alone are well worth the cost of membership.
Melissa Thank you so very much!! I could not have had gotten through my issues i was having with my Silhouette. You saved me big time!!!! Thank you so much for your expertise. The information and education videos provided here is all you need and if I couldn’t figure something out you personally helped me understand it yourself and for that I am very grateful. I’ve never experienced that anywhere else. Thanks again Melissa truly Thank you
I was becoming frustrated and at a loss for what to do with some issues I was having with my Silhouette portrait. I couldn't find the answers I needed online. After hours(and days) of trying to scour the internet for solutions, I stumbled upon Melissa's program. I am so glad I found Silhouette U! I reached out to Melissa and the same day she was able to help me quickly troubleshoot my issue. I am so grateful! Lots of wonderful resources and it's so great being a part of community of other creators. Thank you!
I am so happy to have this opportunity to get help from Melissa. She is so smart, kind and generous with her knowledge. The one on one Q & A's, the support and the videos Melissa shares with us is invaluable.
Thank you Melissa for all you do for us!
Hi Melissa and Silhouette U. I have only been a member for a very short time and am loving it. I am doing the beginner Videos at the moment and although I have had my Silhouette Cameo for many years I am now learning so much about my machine and the programme.
I am not at all disappointed that I became a member.

Love all of the wonderful and inspiring content that Melissa brings to us each month. I have used lots of her tips and knowledge from the very beginning of her journey in building her business and brand. She is AMAZING to say the least. She helps clarify and keeps you creating with her excellent print materials, also. Thanks for being in my craft room with me whenever I need you!
I've been a member for years & appreciate the up-to-date information & tips & tricks, as well as assistance provided.
I am not happy . I have contacted sulhouetteu and am waiting for a response. I cannot get silhouette studio to open, I click on it and it bounces like it always has but then nothing happens.
Hi Joann, You wrote in to Silhouette U at 9:19 am asking for help and I responded at 10:04 am on the same day. You wrote this review in between. We offer same day personalized support, but instant support is only available during 1:1 Office Hours which we have multiple times a week via chat, not email.
I am very happy with my membership. I have learned so much and have a reference if I need help. Highly recommend.
