This is genius !! I’m so glad I found 143. My eyesight isn’t the greatest so I’m not really into weeding. I can’t wait to start ordering from the 143!!! Thanks for the tutorial😉

Didn’t know one could put the designs so close together. Thanks.

How do you create a tumbler wrap?

[@Dee_B23]

Thanks for info and Tutorial Kate. Will definitely be using it.

If you change the color of the background on the gang sheet for example to see a white design with a transparent background, how do you turn it back to the checked background without losing the layers you've already done? thanks in advance!!

If program is measuring bounding box should my image size be little bigger?

[@143VINYL]

The best way is to trim down your image! You can learn how to do it in a free program called Photopea in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHi9h62Qpc9lmMU

I have multiple layers. I cannot duplicate my entire file as it only duplicates one layer. Is there a way tp lock the layers?

If your image is not the size of the bounding box how to you get it to that correct size? I ordered images which I sized how I thought they would be however they were smaller and I realize now why- sorta new to this way of printing. Any tips to correct that? Thank You!

[@143VINYL]

There are programs like Canva, Inkscape or Silhouette Studio where you can size the canvas to exactly the size of your image and export as the PNG and that will generally get rid of that extra space of the Bounding Box. Are you a member of our Facebook Group? You can always post there for everyone's recommendations and any tutorials. We are working on a couple to help folks out using different programs!

You can also make a square the size you want the design to be then place the design on top of the square and size the design to fit that square which is the size you want the designs to be, then delete the square. Then the design might measure 10” but the design image itself is really only 9.5” because it actually measures the bounding box with that transparency. And you can overlap the blank spaces of the bounding boxes because it does not print, only the design prints.

[@theknottyhippy]

@@rhondam So if the blue bounding box overlaps on images it is okay as long as it is overlapping blank space correct?

[@rhondam]

@@theknottyhippy correct because the blank space will not print.

[@theknottyhippy]

@@rhondam awesome!! Thank you so much!!

Does the background of the layout designer make a difference or show up as part of the design? I ask because i have a design with white words.

[@143VINYL]

If you change the background in Layout Designer, that part will not print so if you are just looking to see what your design looks like loaded in as all white and change the background to black, it will not print that background color! It is there just as a helpful tool for you to get a better visual on your designs! :) I hope this helps explain a little better for you and let us know if you have any other questions!
