I've had that happen, I was right there and caught it though. I think my problem turned out to be a stray node in the design confused the plotter.
-
I did it in Inkscape but most any vector program should be able to do it.
Basically I selected the font I wanted and typed out the words. Duplicated them and turned the duplicate into an outline. Then created block of waves and moved it over the text. Next I merged(I forget the actual command name) the initial text with the waves and joined the result with the outline.

I watch occasionally, but like any other reality show I always wonder in the back of my mind how much of this is staged.

I aim to please but my aim isn't that great.

ONe of the above comments mentioned speed, is it better to run a cutter faster or slower to get a good cut? I would think slower.
-
Is there anything holding the rod in place so that it doesn't slide?
-
You might try copying the file to a different hard drive or a thumb drive and open it from the new location.
-
I tried this with Ink and SCAL. I couldn't get the node to disappear. When i deleted a node the line crossed over and attached somewhere else. I know that prob doesn't make sense.
Anyway, at 4 this morn, i gave up. I even checked youtube for a tutorial but didn't see anything that might help. OW, i was with you till line 3. heheheTry working in wire frame mode, can make it clearer what you are doing when you node edit, especially when you're just starting out.

Did you save the vectored image as an EPS? Do you know where you saved it? In SB did you choose import and navigate to folder location you saved the EPS file?
Or in inkscape, do a select all, copy, and then paste into SB. It will paste in huge but you can just scale it down to the size you want.
-
SB can vector images but I've never got it to work very well. Inkscape is much easier to use and I've heard does a better job. I pretty much do all my design/layout in inkscape then either save as an EPS or copy and paste into SB.

Your cut contour is just going to be your white box, correct? So just move it to the CutContout layer and make it magenta and you should be good to go.
-
Be sure to use the import option rather than the open file option.

Look around, it's already here. Mindless people walking/driving/eating with their face in their phone, might as well be a zombie.

Just do a google search for free web hosting. There are dozens out there. Building the page may take some time and reading though. Some hosters have tools for creating web pages and getting up and running with a generic format pretty quickly. Others just assume you know what you are doing and leave it at that.
-
Depending on the software, some give you the option to adjust the spacing between lines.
Inkscape offers this. Just enter your text spelling out learning with a return between each line, center it, then adjust the Spacing Between Lines till you're happy. Then you can either try and line up the A's on top of each other, or leave the A out of one of the words.

For me, just playing around and asking questions is the only way I've ever "learned" software. Just start out with simple things and work your way up.
-
Did you ask who made the hat, maybe you can get the image file from them.
-
A Facebook buisness page would be an easy start. Just use it more for showing what you've done/can do, and as a way for people to contact you. There are also tons of free web site services but they usually have annoying adds, and can be a pain to setup on your own.
-
Why not just ask him to send you the file again in a format you can use?
-
Doesn't have the correct words, the image is right,

Any one have a combine to share? I don't need one but this post got me looking around to see what I could find. There are some ok pay ones out there but free is always better. ha!
-
Have you adjusted your offset? Won't completely fix the problem but may help reduce it.
-
Does your shape fill the cutter area? If not, I'd try sliding the pinchers to the area you will be cutting.

Some where on page 2 I think.
