Why are my cursive letters cutting out separately?
Design Space treats each letter as its own shape, even in a script font. Until the letters overlap and you Weld them, the machine cuts every letter separately.
The fix
- 1Select the text and lower Letter Space until every letter overlaps the next one a little.
- 2Zoom to 200% and check each join; a tiny gap still cuts as two pieces.
- 3Duplicate the text and hide the copy, in case you need to change a word later.
- 4Select the text and click Weld. It now cuts as one piece.
