How to break apart Large Vinyl Cuts to fit on a mat

Post by DogCarbon »

Attached is my svg tutorial on how I broke apart a large vinyl quote that was about 50" long to fit on a mat and how to line it up easier on the wall.

Thanks Todd, not that Todd, but Talanhart!

This file is not optimized for cutting as I had to simply the text parts to get the file size under the 256K.
I will post the cutting file too, without all the instructions.

I tried to download to view the file and instruction, but am unable to open. I am running SCAL3, but should still be able to open an svg. Can you help? Thanks!

yes, if you bring the instruction into inkscape, you can read them there... but there are 5 steps I used in ink.
