USA Flag Flip Flops Embroidery Design
Who says freebies are just for digital cutters? I know lots of Silhouette crafters who also have embroidery machines and I didn’t want to leave you out! This USA Flag Flip Flops design from Apex Embroidery would look great on a bag or as a chest logo on a t-shirt.
Oh My Stars & Fireworks SVG Files
When I saw these designs by Pineapple Paper Co., it was too hard to pick just one. Use the Oh My Stars design by itself or add the fireworks for some extra pop (pun intended!).

Stars & Stripes Peace Sign for Sublimation
Design Bundles is a great source for not only cuttable designs but printable designs as well, like this Stars & Stripes Peace Sign. Use it for any type of printable project, including sublimation.

To use this file with your Silhouette Cameo or Portrait:
1. Open the SVG in Silhouette Studio.
2. Ungroup.
3. Delete the horizontal cut line from each of the large colored rectangles (these are score lines designed for the Cricut machine). After the pieces are cut, you will fold them by hand.
4. Group all parts of each color group back together (i.e. select all parts of the blue section and group, then repeat for the red section and the white section.
5. Cut each of the color groups from coordinating paper or cardstock and cut the light grey rectangles from vellum.
