Thanks so much for the great video. After watching the video this morning, I used the apple design to decorate a new cell phone pocket that I made today. Other than making my design a bit large, it turned out great.

Very cool. I didn't really like the 2nd one either. I wonder could you slice one letter at a time because it looked okay before you welded them together.

@teridoty4285 5 жыл бұрын

yes you can - go to the right side panel and hold the shift key - then click on the letter (i.e. G) that you want to slice and the apple shape in the list - it will select only those two items and do the slice.

I try to do this with one shape and two words and it didn’t give me the slizing option. If I do step by step using only one word on top of the shape it worked. But, if I add an extra word to fill up the top of the shape at the end it didn’t give me the slizing option. I was using a sewing machine silhouette. Wanted to write a word for the top part and another one on the bottom. Do you know what am I doing wrong? Thanks!! Loved your tutorial!

use the column on the right side (holding shift) to select the two things you want to slice - that should work

make sure you have both layers selected. If your text isn't one layer select all the letters and weld them, then select the word and image and slice.

how do you print them? would you need to print two versions since it's two different colors?

you would click on each element separately (top bar, toward the left - there are now two boxes that have the color of the item and next to it the fill option - click fill and select PRINT to turn the thing into a printable image. Do that for all the pieces you want to print together

How do you print this so it lines up correctly with using 2 colors? I figured out how to cut on one mat with 2 colors, but I am not sure how to line it up properly so I don't need multiple transfer paper tape pieces and do each part separately.

@teridoty4285 5 жыл бұрын

If the name is ungrouped while you organize it in front of the apple, you should weld the letters back together, then highlight the word and apple (did you remember to move the apple leaf away from your "work area"?). Slice only works with two elements at a time.

@kierstengordon836 8 жыл бұрын

I've tried the second slicing of the Apple about a zillion times and it will not work. Slicing the green part worked but not slicing the words from the Apple. Please advise!

@selenaleal2426 8 жыл бұрын

+Kiersten Gordon Did you make sure all the letters that you ungrouped (if you are doing the same steps as I did), are welded together. Remember, when slicing, make sure the image you are slicing is one layer and the image you are using to slice is one layer.

No, the font does not make a difference - but if you ungrouped the letters to manipulate them to your liking, weld them together before you try to slice.

As of the most recent Design Space update, you have to highlight each piece (separately) then up in the top left there is the color box (shows color of the item) - next to that is the pattern box - pull that down and select PRINT. Do this for each element in your design.

Move the green leaf out of the way, then make sure your word is together as one object (either in its' original form or welded back together after you manipulate the letters to your liking). Then highlight the word and apple, slice should be available at that point.
