I am trying to make a monogram with the middle letter larger than the other two. Any suggestions on that?
Thanks :D

I have never actually made a monogram...but I would say to type the 3 letters and the put a selection box around all of them and go to Object and Ungroup, and then you can select each one individually and make the center one larger and move them as you want them, and then if you want to overlap them slightly and use Weld in the Properties Panel, then you can go to Cutter and Preview to see if the overlap areas turn light gray and the other red lines show how it will cut.

Good luck with it and show us what you come up with.
