Make an SVG file of a custom graph paper
About SVG
SVG is a special file format. The letters 'SVG' are short for Scalable Vector Graphics. What is especially interesting about SVG to makers and creators is this is the file format accepted by many laser cutters and cutting machines. [QuiltPaper and GridMaker offer three, file formats SVG, PNG, and PDF. This means layouts created by QuiltPaper and Gridmaker have a high likelihood of being accepted by many devices and software applications.]
Why the SVG file format can be useful
Silhouette and Cricut are two popular cutting machines. Both import SVG files, which means shapes created in QuiltPaper or GridMaker can be opened and used to create your own unique shapes. If your projects need cut shapes, QuiltPaper or GridMaker may be all you need to make custom sizes and you can skip expense and time to learn a vector-based software program such as Adobe Illustrator.
