If you look at my original file, the teeth would have been black or the color of the window. That wouldn't be very good advertising for a dentist.
I am figuring out some things with this order. One, weeded vinyl works great for picking up dust in the corners of wood laminate floors. Two, I took my 18" roll of contact paper to work and cut it down to 12 and 6 inches on the band saw. Much easier to use my Fiskars cutter instead of scissors. Why didn't I think of this before. Also, I weeded the cuts from top to bottom instead of side to side. This worked great with the letters and objects that I used in this artwork. All I have to do is apply the contact paper and I am ready to deliver today.
LOL to the band saw. I use my sewing gadgets to cut my vinyl: Rotary cutter, clear ruler and cutting mat. My friend who also cuts vinyl saw me do it and laughed all the way into her closet to pull hers out.

I just looked up this eCraft machine and it looks really cool!! the XL can take sheets 30inches wide and it's due Fall of 2010..Wow is there any mention of SCAL supporting other machines. I know that the other application (I won't mention the name because of the contraversy) can support Gazelle and Roland machines but I would like to see SCAL supporting other machines.
If you aren't learning something new everyday you might as well just lie in a grave and wait for death.
I know some people have mentioned they would like SCAL for the ECraft, but it will have its own program (for $159 bucks!) that will allow you to cut and design .svg's. Whether it will be of the same caliber as SCAL will remain to be seen.
Since they placed such a big order, I told Joann that I would make 1 window cut for each child that makes the All Star teams for free and they can order more if they want. Joann decides that each player should have two cuts and more if they want to order more. Fortunately, most of the players were happy with the two, but I did have quite a few that ordered 2, 4 and even 6 more cuts. I wisened up with this artwork. I can fit 8 on a page instead of 6 and the design is much easier to weed.
