    This is a fantastic video, Angie. I’m currently struggling with a project that I wanted to use a weeding box for but kept messing up on my canvas - I used slice for one one part of my design to have some text be cut out & wasn’t sure that would work after adding my weeding box & attaching since of course they then become the same colour. Slicing again wasn’t the way to go as it made everything cut out. I see now that part of my issue was not putting a weeding box around the one part that is a different colour. Do you think I should slice out my text after I add the weeding box to the parts that are the same colour to then create the cut out text from the one area or would I still need to weed out those pieces anyway? I’d love to see an updated video for this topic, if possible, to show how slicing parts can help & re: newer combine, etc might help or hinder. Thank you!!

    @@AngieHolden Thank you, Angie! No, just two colours in my whole design with the majority the same colour, so with your great video, I was better able to understand that I only need two weeding boxes & that I needed to ensure I didn’t attach the wrong elements together. My intention with the sliced out text is for my blank to show through on the final project & realized that I would have to weed out the letters of the sliced out text to get that effect anyway, so definitely don’t need to use slice again just because I’m adding the weeding box 😳
