I am having a lot of fun with the option of using any font on my computer with Make The Cut but I am learning a few things, such as....NOT ALL FONTS ARE GOOD TO CUT!
I had decided to put names on some disposable tumblers and thought I found a good Christmas font but once I got all the names cut I found that some parts were too thin because of the size of the letters or they were a pain in the arse because of the small pieces that had to be removed. As you can see in this picture there is barely enough vinyl to keep the "E" together!
After working on another one I gave up and am going with a different font that is more solid and will cut a little better.
I guess anything new is a learning process especially when you are trying products you haven't' used before, like this chrome vinyl and MTC!
Well it looks good to me.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean, I've made that mistake in the past also :) The cup looks good though!
ReplyDeleteI agree. I think it looks great. BTW, I hate to sound really out of it but what exactly is MTC? I've heard of SCAL and the big scandal with PC but never heard of MTC. Is it something that is still available etc.....?? Would love to know. Exploring my options with Cameo cause buying a cartridge for "1" item on it can get pricey and Cameo eliminates that. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteit still looks nice. and you did say they were disposable. i like this font. but can see it would be hard to work with. alas at least you have lots to choose from with mtc.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Can't wait to see the finished product.
ReplyDeleteIt still works, Okie! But yeah, I hear ya. I always tell friends/family to give me some "fat" font options when they want something cut, because lots of those fancy swirly ones won't cut unless they are shadowed like crazy.
ReplyDeleteIs that for me? Lol
ReplyDeleteJust do a shadow around the letters - they will fatten up! LOL

I still think it looks great, but I totally understand the frustration! I know you'll come up with something amazing!
ReplyDeleteThat's looks like Winter Woodland font...am I right?Do I get a prize if I am? lol I had a lot of trouble with that one.It works if you make it BIG,but sometimes big is not better ;~)
