Hi, I have the baby bug and am trying to cut vinyl in very small font (maybe 1/2 inch hig). I'm using scal to create and cut it, but when it cuts the letters, they are so small that the vinyl just gets pulled and turned (very messy). I cut vinyl all the time and I usually use 3,3,3 across the board ...

WOW! I'm so glad I could finally contribute. I haven't even tried yet myself because AC Moore and Michaels were out of the 12x24 mat - but I cant wait to try. Thanks for all your input!

Hi, I have the personnal cricut machine. I noticed that in scal you can change the mat size depending on the machine. Here's what I'm thinking and hoping is correct... Can I change the mat size on the scal to 24x12, use the large expressions cutting mat (12X24), cut the cutting mat to 6x24 and cut w...

Hello All, OK I'm doing my best but I don't seem to have it down yet. Can someone give me a step by step as to how to create in inkscape and cut in scal. Let me explain what I'm doing so far... The project is to create the words : "Established 2000" then convert to scal to cut (I would lik...

You have all been such a great help, and I've gotten what I want from inkscape and imported it into scal. The big problem I have now is that scal doesn't see it (I think). When I try to cut it says cutting is complete when it didn't cut anything. I noticed that when I preview it, the text it is supp...

OK - I see where the problem is but I don't know how to correct it. The file that I'm using is from inkscape and it is bigger than the mat. So what I'm doing is moving the text so only part of it cuts at one time. I notice when I preview it, the text that is going to print NORMALLY changes to red bu...

When I try to cut from scal I a getting an error. I go through the normal steps, then it initailizes, checks mat size, cutting... then I get a message instantly that the cutting is complete - but it never cut anything. This is the first time I have had this error, I've checked all connections, resta...

Thanks for your help, but I still have more questions. Once I send it to scal and move the section I want to cut onto the cutting mat, how does scal know just to cut that section. For example, if I move "Smith" to the cutting mat area - scal still tries to cut "Family" even thoug...

Please Help Me!! OK, I am new to both of these programs and am having a lot of trouble with inkscape. What I'm trying to do is create wording that says "The Smith Family" I have the font that I want to use but the size needs to be 24 inches in length by 4.5 inches in height. I want to save...
