Matting Text

Post by StarAnne »

I just got my SCAL2. I have cut my letters out and now need to cut out mats or shadows for behind them. Do I need to increase the size of the font if I click on the shadow button, or will it automatically make it larger? Just like the cricut does when you press the shadow button. Please help.
Thanks is advance for your advice.

You just click on your letters.. click on the shadow button and adjust the number beside the shadow box.. You are better to do this with your letters on your virtual mat though and then duplicate the letters and then just lock your top letters and then select and shadow the letters behind them to see how they will look..
