Craft Edge

Hilarious! Calm down and have fun cutting!

wreed - I actually went through the design and removed some nodes and cleaned up a lot of areas. If you zoom in and then click on the nodes selection, you can really see how sometimes the design is somewhat jaggedy. I like to smooth out those lines. You have to be careful when removing nodes because...
