I got a cutter but i cannot seem to find out how to make the curved word on top (WEBERS). I should be able to find the font for the other words just cannot get the top straight and curve the bottom, keeping the letters to scale. I have sure cuts a lot 4. any help on how to do it would be very appreciated.

Thanks

Try the Bulge function under Effects. Keep the Top Offset at 0. Make the Bottom Offset negative. And then increase the Bottom Curve value.

BTW if you could downsize the image it would make it alot easier to read the text on tablets and smaller computer screens.
