    This is EXACTLY what I needed to know to make the large name signs with the Glowforge basic! I knew the basic concept of dividing up the image, but not how to actually execute it. Thank you so much!

    Lovely video Troy! I’m a new follower. I’d suggest cutting a full letter of the letters that had to be cut. For instance, cut just the “u” to add to the entire “u” on the back. Hope this helps. I’ve learned so much from you and I’ll be purchasing a glowforge soon!
