Use Offset to make weeding thin or small letters easier!

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Here is a little tip for you! If you are working on a project that has really tiny or thin letters, or even a really delicate design I have a tip for you! Adding an offset to your project can make weeding the vinyl easier. Here is why!
When you cut the project with an offset, and then first weed the offset away from the design there is less tugging and pressure put on the letters or design. Because of this there is less of a chance that those tiny little letters will pop off!
I did a full tutorial on this process at • Easy Way to Weed Thin ...
So add the offset, then select the design and the offset and click Attach. Attach holds the placement and postion of things, so then when you click Make and it goes to the cutting mat both the design and the offset will be on the same cutting mat.
I did a video showing how easy weeding vinyl was with an offset around everything. I weeded the centers of the letters, then the offset.
I added this info to my tutorial about Offset at www.shawnmosch.com/offset-in-...
Additionally, if you have a hand written item you want turned into a SVG, I highly recommend this resource tidd.ly/3OCGpoP
