Craft Edge

Thanks, all! The reinforcers are important.
If you have an interest in other sizes let me know, and I can put them on my list to possibly
do later.

Sorry about that -- didn't have eCAL open at the time and didn't remember correctly what the menu item was called. With both items selected (the "hole" SVG and the slim rectangle on top of it) go to the Path menu and select "Back Minus Front". This will "subtract" the r...

I'm not good with closing paths either, but if I were approaching this I might overlay very thin rectangles (see red bars in the photo) on top of the whole path and then do a "subtract" action, several times? It looks like you could cleanly split it into six parts...

Does anyone know what settings should be made here, to get good cuts with the Roland blades ...

Can die-cut machines cut pages of solid text? Is it possible to rent time on die-cut machines at craft stores the way you can for computers at Kinkos? Do any machines or their software allow for skewing font slightly up/down (i love how the lines aren’t too perfect) or would i just print lines of t...
