Use Offset to make weeding thin or small letters easier!

Here is a little tip for you! If you are working on a project that has really tiny or thin letters, or even a really delicate design I have a tip for you! Adding an offset to your project can make weeding the vinyl easier. Here is why!
When you cut the project with an offset, and then first weed the offset away from the design there is less tugging and pressure put on the letters or design. Because of this there is less of a chance that those tiny little letters will pop off!
*****I did a full tutorial on this process at • Easy Way to Weed Thin ...
So add the offset, then select the design and the offset and click Attach. Attach holds the placement and postion of things, so then when you click Make and it goes to the cutting mat both the design and the offset will be on the same cutting mat.
I did a video showing how easy weeding vinyl was with an offset around everything. I weeded the centers of the letters, then the offset.
I added this info to my tutorial about Offset at www.shawnmosch...
Additionally, if you have a hand written item you want turned into a SVG, I highly recommend this resource tidd.ly/3OCGpoP

@MsSopheia Год назад

This is GREAT! I really could've used this a few days ago. I was doing a batch of hats and couldn't complete them because it was pulling up the letters. Just curious, if you're using a cricut to cut, are you using a Washi material setting and which vinyl are you using? Thank You!

@TheShawnMosch Год назад

I always use Siser vinyl, and I cut that on the iron on vinyl or iron on plus setting on my Cricut.

@Customsbymlm 6 месяцев назад

I can’t get the small letters to stay on the paper and they continue to stick to the whole.. some stick some transfer.. trying to figure out a good way to get them to stick while removing the unusable outside stuff. Any suggestions on that? Do I use a deeper cut on my Cameo? Instead of 1/10 use 2/10?

Can you please make a video or refer me to a video that shows how to actually do this? When I use the offset function it is only cutting the shadow around my words, and not the letters within the shadow. Thanks in advance!

@TheShawnMosch Год назад

you would need to attach the offset and the letters so they cut together

@bainTV Год назад

Do you mean just group them together after I make the offset?@@TheShawnMosch

@TheShawnMosch Год назад

@@bainTV no, group will just hold them together on the Design Space canvas. If you want them to cut on the same mat in the same location as they are in this video use Attach. Attach holds placement and position
