Best settings for the Chomas Creations tools and the Silhouette Cameo

These are a few of my favorite settings for using the Chomas Creations tools in the Silhouette Cameo.  If you have any you would like to add to the list that work for you leave a comment and I will add them here.  These are general settings that work for me.  You may want to practice with your machine and scrap paper to see if they work for you!
