Amanda, I'm on a learning curve at the moment. For these templates I've used some .bmp clip art with limited colours. imported them into the Robo software then traced them. I had to play around with the threshold settings till I got the results I wanted. When I cut them out I will un group the bits and cut out in different colours but I haven't got that far at the moment.
For me the easiest way to learn is to play and at this stage i don't have to waste any materials till I'm satisfied I've got something I like.
i made this 1 in inkscape as .dxf
imported in robocraft en saved as .gsd
its made of 4 layers and sry but didnt had the chance to try it due to some issues here, wich makes me unable to go to my scrap addic, where my silhouette is located.
so if any1 wants 2 try this 1 for me and post a pic of the result i would be so gratefull.

Unfortunately, although it cuts ok, it also cuts around the original image, i.e including the white space, I don't know how to get rid of this so if any one does, feel free!!, or let me know and i will do it.
Thanks for the challenge and to everyone elses files there are all brilliant

This is for anyone who doesn't know about Open Clipart or has forgotten about it.
I saw these and thought they would make great embellishments for children, either as Print and Cut or Paper Piecings. There are lots of farm animals, farm buildings and trees etc. I've done one to show newbies what can be done with them, this file contains a straightforward Print and Cut and the same design with fill removed and broken apart into individual pieces.
I opened the file in Inkscape, did ungroup numerous times then saved as SVG to open in Studio. If your version of Studio doesn't open SVG files, save it as DXF then open it in Studio, but use Simplify path to get rid of excess nodes, using it once should be sufficient.
