Hi again all you wonderful people! Jenny 'Benr98' thank you for your vote of confidence! juniorrange - No pics, I can try to take a cell phone shot and find out how to send it I just weeded the "For Sale" letters and applied it to that special board...can't remember it's technical name. The cutter is a Creation P-cut 24. I haven't done anything to tell and send it to the cutter. My first attempt was a bust, so I weeded. By Artsy I thought I could 'draw' like a picture on the computers 'Paint' program or scan a photo and tell the cutter to cut the picture and then I just weed, tape and stick it on the board. Silly me. Not going to be that easy!! Thank you gracewriter....I'll remember that. Hi Swaneejug - No, it's not the software....just me! I'll stick with it. Thanks again for your replies. It's much appreciated.

Hi all, I haven't put much time into learning this field yet. I tried to 'design' some words last week and took notes as to the steps to follow to make things happen....unsucessfully. I learned I have to do one word at a time, move it over and go on to the next word and so on and then manipulate. I'm not great with numbers/measurements so I'm a bit discouraged. I thought I could just do artsy stuff. I felt pretty incompetent with my instructor as he is fast and takes over and explains things fast and gets impatient if I don't pick up as quickly. So, I put it to bed, for now. Instead I did some weeding and did a for sale sign, did the water and squeegie, tape (transfer) and peel and put it on the board. I didn't line the tape up evenly from the top. One corner was lined up but as I continued to lay out the transfer it didn't line up with the other end! It came out ok tho. The second (backside) try I still didn't line it up well and then sprayed the wrong side before I placed it on the board which made it a little more difficult to transfer but all in all the sign was good. Glad I didn't do an important sign that was going to be sold cuz it wouldn't have passed the test!

Thanks for welcoming me guys!

My friend "Buggie Pilot" has purchased a (P-Cut 24) and is having a lot of fun and success with using the cutter. I've watched him work with it and helped out with a few projects and it sparked my interest. He visits this forum frequently and has praised how much you all help one another which makes the learning process more fun than frustrating. I'm looking forward to this forum as well. Thanx, Ursula
