This is not something that needs to be solved today. I ended up using the title without the inset being cut out, but...
I was trying to create an outline type title with the inside of the letters open to be filled with pp or for the background to show through. I found a blocky font I liked, typed in the capital letters and adjusted them a bit so they were a bit "thicker", created an inner offset for each letter, then moved those out of the way while I welded the letters together. Then moved in the insets and liked the result.
BUT... When I went to cut the title, I could not figure out how to tell the machine to cut the insets!!! Just got the blocky letters. I tried a few different ways, but nothing would work. And I didn't like the look of the thick blocky letters in the dark colour I had chosen for an outline. Ended up editing the cut file I had created to make the letters thinner, and cut out of a slightly brighter cs. Backed the word on a colourful inked background and my page is done.
But what am I missing? If I want to do one of those open letter titles again, how do I get the Silhouette to cut those inserts??? Maybe you can help me, gramma?
