Help learning how to...

Post by cayde »

I'm wondering if anyone can help me learn how to "curve" or "bend" a round image so that I can cut it from vinyl and it will fit on a round ornament. I have tried and tried but am not having much luck. I know how to use the bend feature but it would seem that the image needs to bend at the top, middle and bottom instead of just in the middle? Thanks for any suggestions

Thanks for the reply, I don't think I asked my question clearly. I have a 3 1/2" round ball (christmas ornament), I am cutting a 2" image from vinyl and trying to attach it to the ornament, but because of the curve of the ornament the vinyl will not lay flat. So I am wondering if I somehow need to "curve" the image to match the curve of the ornament?

Thanks again for your reply, very good video!
