Don't weld them, just place the letters inside the heart. Use Preview (single page behind the magnifying glass) to confirm that it will cut correctly. If you are going to copy/paste them you might want to first select both then use Object/Group to keep them together. HTH

The buttons are near the top of the SCAL window. Here is an image showing the preview buttons. The one on the left (Preview) with the single page will show you your cut lines, the second one (Preview All) with two pages will generally show you your silhouettes from all of your pages in your file but usually won't show interior cuts.
You will usually want to use the Preview to see all of your cut lines. HTH
