***** November Software Help/Class *****

[Lucille]

Last month we learnt how to weld, create shadows and mats and weld text to a frame, this month you can learn how to cut out shapes, this technique is really useful for creating stencil cuts and can also be used with basic shapes to create new shapes.

Cut Out Shapes on the Edge – Stencilling

Design Master tutorial here
Inkscape tutorials here
Illustrator tutorial here
Robo Master tutorial here

Once you have done the tutorial and have learnt this technique spend some time practising it with your own shapes, text or dingbats.

If you create a file you want to share please upload in the template section where it is safe, but it would be nice if everyone doing the class could post a picture or a screen shot in this thread so we can see what everyone is working on.

If this is your first time joining the software class and challenge please start with previous tutorials in this order if you feel you are not ready for the above yet -

1. Getting Started (this is in the Robo Master section)
2. Welded Words with Mats
3. How to Make a Contour Mat
4. How to Weld Text to a Frame

Please don’t struggle alone post any help questions here or in CR Chat and remember there is no such thing as a stupid question, we were all new to this once.

You don't have to cut out what you make if you don't want to, you can use a pen, you don't even have to save the file.

If you are doing the class and don't have questions drop in and say HELLO
