Hi Ladies


OK, I have the lyrical letter cartridge, and there is a banner on it. I can not figure out how to get a letter cut in the banner? Or can you even? I looked in the booklet and there were no instructions.





Thank you!

No, I don't see a way to do that, at least not with just the cartridge. I do not have Design Studio or a Gypsy but I understand that you can weld characters with those. Maybe there is a way with with one of them?

There's no way you can with the LL cart, unless you have Design Studio or the Gypsy. You have to cut out the banner first, then add your letter.

First Welcome to ACOT!!! Unless the icon in the book shows letters cut into the banner, then you will have to use the other programs listed above. I suggest cutting it out with scrap paper and the maybe trying to postion it on the matt and experimenting to see if you can the cut the letters secondly. I have done this with tags on George and Basic Shapes.


by the way LOVE your name!! Hehehehe
