Great tutorial for how to thicken a font! I had a favorite font that I wanted to use on a shadow box but it was way too thin and the 0.04 size was just perfect.

[@debbiesylvester2774]

Your instructions are straightforward but when I follow I get the offset shadow not the thickening of the font. It's very frustrating. Please help.

[@laurieperez3117]

Crystal, can you thicken an image? I found a hibiscus flower but the cut was thin. Will this work? Great video! Thank you!

Great tutorial thank you sooo much! What font were you using in this video? It's super pretty

[@CrystalsCrafties]

Hi! The font is called Samantha Font. It used to be offered on Creative Fabrica but it isn't any longer. You can google it though to see where the designer is offering the font now.

[@elizabethm4652]

I don’t see weld on the maker 3

[@mariaadame8843]

[@bethmea5193]

You just saved the day for me! I'm trying to make etched glasses for my son's wedding and the letters were too thin! Now I can fix it! Thanks!

[@CrystalsCrafties]

Glad I could help!

[@alkakamo8053]

When I highlight and click offset my apply button is not active. Version says beta. What should I do?

[@afihenry6981]

Thank you very helpful 😊😊

[@CrystalsCrafties]

You're welcome 😊

[@dockworthydame5217]

Wow! Thanks, never thought to do that!

[@CrystalsCrafties]

Glad to help

[@katricewalker6991]

Love the font

[@alishasimmons1990]

Can you use this when you have thin lines on cut out picture

[@CrystalsCrafties]

It really depends on the design. If the original design was SVG you may be able to. If it was a png or jpg you won't be able to isolate the exact lines you're wanting to thicken.

[@IvanaRBDCroatia]

Hi I tried this trick and at first it worked well, my fonts were thicker. But now when I try to do it again with the same font the offset disappears or it is to thick. What should I do

[@LeanneGarner-d3t]

Brilliant!

[@susanfisch13]

Thank you!!

[@davidmorrison6787]

Easy …many thanks

[@CrystalsCrafties]

You are welcome 😊

[@lisawilliams9698]

Hello. Why do I get a black shadow behind the wording.

[@CrystalsCrafties]

The shadow is the outline you'll use to thicken your font.

[@beckylewis8116]

Very helpful

[@CrystalsCrafties]

Glad it helped

[@missb243]

Is there a way to “open” up letters? When i try this with Autumn in November font, it closes up my letter E. No matter how low i go…i.e. .030. Is there just some fonts it wont work with?.

[@CrystalsCrafties]

I was able to take this one down to 0.005 and the "e" stayed open. If you want a larger offset there is a workaround. 1. Type your word 2. Duplicate the word 3. Contour the duplicated word until there is nothing left but the opening of the "e". (Click Contour and then in the right side bar click on every little object except the opening of the "e". I also have a video on contour if you're not familiar with using it.) 4. Create the offset for your original word however you'd like it. 5. Place the contoured out "e" in position on top of your offset where it should go and then slice it out.

[@touceen]

U re so sweet for sharing. God bless u🫂

[@CrystalsCrafties]

My pleasure 😊

[@conniel.4601]

Helpful, thanks!

[@CrystalsCrafties]

You're welcome!

[@Oolinhieeoo]

When I tried this it just created a solid color background of the font :( what am I doing wrong

[@CrystalsCrafties]

You may just need to adjust the size of your offset and change the color.

[@MsDeLo60]

Thank You ♥️

[@CrystalsCrafties]

You’re welcome 😊

[@robineubank9402]

Thank you!!!!!!

[@CrystalsCrafties]

No problem

[@225babmama]

Crysssssttttttaaaaaaallllllll ❤️❤️

[@CrystalsCrafties]

AWWW, you win comment of the day here. Thank you!

[@joanvanzante1430]

This is awesome yet it doesn’t work for every font. Example to see why is the Southland font.

[@andreagarofolo9431]

Would if its not a font just sayings i find on design space

[@CrystalsCrafties]

That would work too.

[@andreagarofolo9431]

Ok i will try again, it didn't look thicker and kept adding a shadowed backround to the saying

[@andreagarofolo9431]

Thank you so much
