To ensure your fonts are attached together seamlessly for cutting, you'll want to follow these steps.
Steps for Attaching Fonts Together
1. Use a Design Software
Start by using a design software like Creative Fabrica's Studio or any vector graphic editor that allows you to manipulate font paths.
2. Type and Select Your Text
Enter your text and select the font you wish to use. Adjust the spacing between letters to ensure they are close enough to connect, but not overlapping unless desired.
3. Weld or Combine Letters
Utilize the 'Weld' or 'Combine' feature often found in design software. This feature combines all the letters into a single shape, removing overlapping cut lines.
4. Check the Paths
Inspect the paths to make sure there are no gaps between the letters. Adjust any nodes if necessary to ensure a smooth connection.
5. Convert Text to Path
Convert your text into a path or outline. This eliminates the text element and turns it into a shapely vector that can be cut as one piece.
Additional Tip
If you're using Creative Fabrica Studio, take advantage of its wide range of fonts and editable templates to create cohesive designs quickly.
Following these steps will help you prepare your fonts for cutting, avoiding any breaks and ensuring a smooth crafting process. Happy crafting! 🎨✨

Steps to Sublimate on a Wood Plank
Prepare the Wood Surface
Ensure the wood plank is smooth and clean. For the best results, using a plywood plank that is pre-coated with a sublimation-ready layer (like a polymer-coating) will yield the most vibrant results.
Create or Choose Your Design
Design your image or text using graphic design software. For ready-made designs, Creative Fabrica offers a plethora of graphics and templates you can work with.
Print the Design
Use a sublimation printer to print your design on sublimation paper. Make sure to mirror the design before printing.
Set Up Your Heat Press
Preheat your heat press to the appropriate temperature, typically around 375-400°F (190-204°C), with a pressing time of about 60 seconds. Adjust as needed based on the specific materials and press being used.
Place the Design on the Wood Plank
Position the printed sublimation paper on the wood plank where you want the image to transfer. Secure it with heat-resistant tape to prevent any movement.
Press the Design
Carefully place the wood plank with the design in the heat press. Apply even pressure and let the press do its job for the set time.
Peel Off the Paper
Once the time is up, gently peel away the sublimation paper to reveal your design on the wood plank.
This process will leave you with a beautifully sublimated wood plank, ready to add charm to any space! 🌟 If you need more supplies or creative ideas, check out Creative Fabrica for amazing resources.
