Can anyone help? I'm looking for a cross like this I can cut with SCAL. I wish I knew how to make my own!

Hello
You could trace the image depending in the copyright issues, if you want to see how to do that here is a link to the video I made about tracing an image in SCAL

then you can cut it with your machine
good luck

Re: Help! Looking for a Cross
The only problem with tracing that image is it's been taken on a slant (not straight on) so you would need to compensate or correct the image before tracing, otherwise you might find you have a wonky cross
but it would give you a start for the object you want.

I tried tracing in Inkscape but the colors are so faint I couldn't get a clean trace to work with.
I also googled to see where it might have come from but didn't find it.
It is lovely tho and worth pursuing I think.

Re: Help! Looking for a Cross
OK I'm looking online to find out how to straighten the pic.
I think it will require a manual trace using the bezier tool and basically draw around all those shapes. which you could do now but then you'd need to try to align them all on a straight path.... and they might not be the right size/shape to do it.
yes, it's a nice file and would be useful to some

Re: Help! Looking for a Cross
OK I'm going to hope I'm not fringing anyone's copyright - if I am, please let me know and I'll remove the file but I have "fiddled" with the image and somehow managed to get it looking half decent............
.......... then manually traced each part and I've come up with this - it's not perfect but not bad, what do you think?

Re: Help! Looking for a Cross
fantastic! how patient you are to hand trace it, and it looks pretty exact to me.
tks
I'm back... it only took a few minutes to add the color and it is even more beautiful.....
