Has anyone created a design like the Martha Stewart edge punch called infinite loops ?
Or can anyone create it ?
I have attached an image so you can see the design.
Thanks in anticipation.

Hi
Thanks for the SVG, I think it would be exactly what I wanted, but when I downloaded it all the holes that form the loops and the pattern are out of alignment, I get the out line of the border but the central holes go off on a diagonal.
Any suggestions ?
I have added a screen capture image so you can see what is happening.

It opened fine in SCAL 2.030 but didn't open correctly in SCAL1. I would guess that it is a compatibility issue between your version of SCAL and the Inkscape version. Try opening the file in Inkscape, select the artwork, and use Path/Union.

O-k-a-y
is inkscape something I should have or is it something you buy ?
Help I really only use my cricut to cut out lettering and the odd SVG file that I have downloaded I don't have any other experience using it, sorry.

If you are using SCAL1, then Inkscape is a very good program to learn. It allows you to create your own svg files either by tracing images (like coloring pages), or using the text and shape tools. It is an open source (free) program available here.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/inkscape/files/ I would recommend Inkscape 0.47 over the newer version since it doesn't work correctly with SCAL1.

Thanks for dl file littlemermaid. It opened in SCAL just fine. SCAL2 has a newer update the 2.030 for anyone that wasn't aware.

What does 2.030 do in the latest update? Is this a stable update?
