This makes it easy to manipulate one layer without disturbing/destroying the other layers. Place each layer of your design onto a different layer in Procreate.I recommend using one of the default sketching brushes to sketch your design first and then use the monoline brush to go over your sketched design for the final product. If aren’t comfortable lettering, you can also use procreate to draw pretty much anything.

If you size your design to 12″x12″, it will upload perfectly to the cutting machine software and you will not have to resize it. I’d recommend using 12″x12″ because that is the size of the Silhouette and Cricut cutting mats. Open up Procreate and select a document size.If you are a Silhouette user, you can also save a file as an SVG from the Silhouette software. I use Adobe Illustrator but you can also convert to SVGs using Inkscape which is free. You will need another program to turn your Procreate file into an SVG. First, I need to point out that you cannot export to SVG format directly from Procreate. If you need a refresher to Procreate, or you are new to Procreate, make sure to check out my Intro to Procreate post.

Apple Pencil– you can use almost any stylus created to draw on an iPad, but if you are looking to create hand-lettered SVG files with differing stroke weights, you’ll need an Apple Pencil.I’m not sure if the price has gone up but it is super cheap for everything that this app allows you to do. When I purchased it, it cost around 10 dollars. Procreate app – this is pretty obvious, right? This app is available from the Apple store.iPad– you don’t need an iPad Pro to use Procreate.
