How To Curve Text Around Shapes With Brother ScanNCut Canvas Workspace Download Programme

[@shireetropix6360]

Thanks a lot Ashley. I find that if I do the steps as you do them (pausing the video), it sticks in my head much better. This is one of the functions that I felt should have been included from the beginning because they already have it on their embroidery programs, so why not here too? I'm so pleased to be able to use it without loading other programs just to change the shape. Good, clear instructions! Thank you. When I made my circle, I made it 5.10 rather than the 5.00 we started with and all the welding went perfectly provided the letters were positioned properly which saved a bit of editing.

[@opal777]

I agree. If you want a 5 inch circle, then start with a 4.99...then at the end make the final one 5 inch. This is a very good video. I have done this in my other program for embroidery....glad to have it here as well.

[@amandah8742]

Thanks for your videos! Even though this is older, it was so helpful. Please continue making videos; especially on new Canvas updates and features.

[@marcialander8854]

I know you did this a long time ago but I wanted to try and let you know that you not only did a great tutorial but you also gave me a great idea that I used in my glass fusing. I cut 1/8" fusing paper and fused my kids names into glass trays/dishes for them. That part worked well so kudos to you. Thanks

[@applelover53]

Thank you, glad it was helpful

[@sigmanails]

Always I love your tutorials

[@christeepascale4483]

Thank you for this super helpful video. You clearly explained exactly what I hoped to learn and I was able to translate that to a draw and cut file that worked as I needed. Cheers!

[@NannyMooCreations]

Thank you so much for this tutorial...I'm new to.the scan n cut machines, but have two embroidery machines....I bought the SNC playbook to learn how to cut appliques with my machine, but its so much easier for me to learn visually. You have taught me everything I need to know ...I can't thank you enough....❤❤

[@applelover53]

Hi glad the videos help. Ive got a sewing playlist on my channel and there are videos in there for appliqué with a scanncut too.

[@yvonnewicks7819]

you are such an angel what would we do without you

[@applelover53]

Thank you so much, glad to be able to help especially at the moment with all the free time some of us have.

[@patcampbell3585]

Awesome! Easy to follow directions. Thank you very much !

[@applelover53]

Thank you

[@donnalannan2978]

Excellent demonstration! Thanks so much.

[@applelover53]

You're very welcome!

[@paulbailey207]

I have not had a proper chance to play this addition properly, so now with lockdown in place will have a go with all the controls, Many thanks for the video.

[@applelover53]

It’s good fun

[@tillergirl8058]

Another easy to follow tutorial. Thank you so much.

[@applelover53]

You're very welcome!

[@sharonharris9373]

Thank you Ashleigh, This was very helpful in explaining how to use the new function which i have only just had a chance to play with now. I changed my circle size to avoid the problems with the process overlap which worked well. I think I made it 5.05 or something. Thanks again as your instructions are perfect as usual. Cheers Shaz xx

[@tamaramaus6726]

Thank you. Very clear instructions. I really appreciate you doing these!

[@applelover53]

You are so welcome!

[@beverleypotter3456]

Thank you Ashley great video

[@KathyaKalinine]

Thanks for this tutorial! I wonder if changing the circle size to 5.01 or 5.02 would have prevented having to deal with the node adjustments?... this was super helpful! Thank you!!!

[@applelover53]

you need to play about with note only the size of the circle but the font too, you may well get varying results depending either of these, i just give you a guide and then you can play around with it yourself.thank you

[@barbaramckenzie326]

I just tried changing the welding circle to 5.1" and it worked perfectly - didn't have to fiddle with nodes anywhere.

[@marilynlynskey2005]

Thank you so much from Midland, Texas

[@applelover53]

You are welcome

[@shirleyflint9320]

I have now made 2 cards from this video and have learned a lot! Thank you. Question how are u able to get the color pencil pallet when u want to add a color to a design I think that is so cool.

[@applelover53]

Hi thank you that video is several years old now but glad it was helpful. I use a Mac and the pencils are an apple feature.

[@stephaniepaterson6340]

I received my 1st machine yesterday (this Disney one) & would have been lost without you...thank you so much! Just one question, I’d love to make stickers of sentiments...I’ve done it on this sticker paper through the printer before now but I struggle to use scissors hence the cut scan. ...how on earth do I cut text out similar to tim holtz as in not fussy cutting the letters but so I can peel off my words/phrases? I hope this makes sense!

[@applelover53]

Hi i dont know what you mean about Time Holtz, but you can add a shape around anything you scan, so that would work for stickers

[@stephaniepaterson6340]

applelover53 thanks for replying. I don’t really want to see the shape I just couldn’t think of a way to do it. I’ve just looked at your photos and the card on the how to make lattice video you’ve done has a happy birthday on it. I want to be able to half cut lines around my words like this...ideally a whole sheet (Tim Holtz sells sheets of sentiments like this on Amazon but I want my own words and fonts). I want to put them not just on cards but on tags, multi media, art etc..so...I mean an A4 size sheet of different words and phrases(my own) and then score around it with the cut and scan. Thanks so much for taking the time to reply! I’m in England & you don’t know how excited I was to find you! Usually I can only find crafters I like in the US & whilst they are good the supplies they suggest aren’t usually available in the U.K....with you I can just click & buy.....I have my eye on those pens you were using at the moment!

[@JoanOrloffDK]

Great tutorial, tips and ideas 😍 your card is beautiful ❤ thanks for sharing your creativity Hugs

[@applelover53]

Thanks so much!

[@vanesabadorrey7916]

Hi Ashley, I am from Argentina, I thank you for your video, very brilliant!. I have a problem and I hope you can solve it for me. In my canvas workspace for pc, there is no word curving function. Could you be kind enough to help me out?

[@applelover53]

If you are using the computer version and if you dont have the text on path icon i show in this video then i think maybe you need to update your programme. if you go to "help" at the top of the page and scroll down to look for "check for canvas workspace update" you should be able to update from there. thank you

[@vanesabadorrey7916]

@@applelover53 Ashley, I am so grateful for your prompt response. Thanks a lot!

[@applelover53]

You are more than welcome.

[@carolvelacot2267]

I have used this function it is great haven't used it for any other shapes except circle great video

[@applelover53]

Thank you, wait till you see Saturdays video!

[@debbiemain4061]

Brilliant video, I managed to follow along and actually create something usable, Thank you XX

[@applelover53]

Wonderful!

[@wendyanne5284]

Thanks for this will give it a go as been looking to do this for ages! x

[@applelover53]

[@lorriwall2523]

Thank you for the video. I would have never figured this out!😀😀

[@applelover53]

Happy to help!

[@telmabermudez8235]

Thank you for your tutorial it is so through and easy to follow. I was so excited to be able to perform this function, but after I did the update it did not show the Text on the right side column or the bar that Convert to Shapes. My daughter deleted Workspace and reinstalled the downloadable version still does not have the Text or Convert to Shape on the right side column. What am I doing wrong? Please help.

[@applelover53]

the text on path feature is only available in the PC/Mac download programme and it will show when you have text and a shape selected on your computer screen

[@lindaallison8014]

Absolutely brilliant, thank you so much, you are so clever.

[@applelover53]

Thank you, you’re welcome

[@monarc1640]

[@wendiowens7257]

How did you get your pallet to show as colored pencils?

[@applelover53]

I use a Mac

[@tracyratcliffe6388]

THANKYOU so much for sharing your knowledge, i love this card

[@applelover53]

You are so welcome!

[@brendamorgan3881]

Thank you again good video, especially like how to move delete etc the nodes. Thanks again.

[@applelover53]

Very welcome

[@BerniBernsify]

Yay 🎉 now I don't have to do this in Inkscape first! Thank you! I'm upgrading my software today 😃 have you tried making the 1st circle 4.99" so everything welds better to the 5" circle?

[@lesleydickson7746]

Excellent video. Thank you!

[@applelover53]

Thank you

[@dianeabraham5378]

Excellent video, thank you...

[@debravick7982]

if the welding circle had been slightly bigger than 5.0 would it have welded better to all of the letters?

[@applelover53]

Yes it may have done but it also depends on the font you use sometimes using a bigger shape encroach is more onto the words and then you lose the definition of the text you really have to play around with this function using different sizes and different text to get the best

[@elunedjeffery5279]

Excellant video, very clever thank you

[@applelover53]

Thank you

[@lindatiggelaar2798]

Very helpful thank you

[@applelover53]

You're welcome!

[@karincotter6572]

This is brilliant! I've been trying to figure out how to do this!

[@applelover53]

Great thank you

[@judithgeertsema3679]

What if the Text to path option is greyed out? What do I need to sign up for in order to get this option?

[@applelover53]

text to path appears when you have both, text and a path (ie shape) selected as i showed in the video thanks

[@yesseniahornamartinez2524]

en mi canvas de escritorio no tengo esa opción para girar en circulo que puedo hacer ?????me puedes ayudar linda

[@applelover53]

La función "alt / option" no parece funcionar en el espacio de trabajo del lienzo para computadora ( (The "alt/option" function doesnt appear to work in canvas workspace for computer)

[@christinepatch2654]

Really helpful - thank you

[@applelover53]

Glad it was helpful!

[@aliceg5677]

This looks brilliant but when i tried to do it on my mac version it doesn't have the fit to path icon. do i need to upgrade my version? if so can you tell me how i can do that please?

[@applelover53]

Hi are you using the download version on your Mac? if so go to the Help at the top of the screen and choose update and that should fix it.

[@debraburke2130]

Thankyou so much

[@applelover53]

Thank you

[@rvrebel2209]

How to make the text Transparent. ie so that I can take to my videos or other paperwork like word. Please

[@applelover53]

You cannot make it transparent, this text is a path which is used for an electronic cutting machine

[@kimberlyprentice8745]

I was putting the shape first, then the words and it wasn't working.

[@pattyh2410]

Silly question. I installed the program. Now, how do I open it?

[@applelover53]

Hi if you go to my KZbin channel and click on the videos you should find a video I have done in the last couple of weeks which is called something along the lines of Scan n Cut campus workspace which program am I using in that video I explain the differences between the online and download program and where to find it

[@England88888]

Thank you so much

[@applelover53]

You're most welcome
