Happy to help! I recommend starting out with the FB group and asking specific questions so we can help you get started

[@theresiasinta7730]

Hello! May I know what is the name of FB Group you're referring to. I'd like to sell SVG file and need someone to tried out if my design is working on their machine..

[@dtwaite1]

This was so helpful! Thank you. And thank you for leaving your problem-solving section (where you were getting error messages) in the video. It's helpful to see how to worked through the issue.

[@ShootingStarSVG]

Glad it helped! I try to be real with people I can't be perfect all of the time LOL let me know if you need anything else

[@michelle2534]

How do you know what fonts you are legally allowed to use to to make svgs without breaking a copywrite? I don't want to have things for sale on the internet and open myself up to being used.

[@ShootingStarSVG]

Buy commercial use fonts or free commercial use fonts. That's big!

I’ve used Cricut Design Space, but never Silhouette. I design using illustrator. Can I use the Silhouette software for free so that I can test my images? Once a simple image is ready to go, how do I prepare them for my Etsy shop. Do you have a video that shows that process?

[@ShootingStarSVG]

You can test in Cricut Design Space for free, if it works in that program you shouldn't have an issue with Silhouette users. However if you're worried you would have to upgrade to business edition to do so.

[@blakeandaveryworld]

Please keep the content coming. Is there anyway to design in Cricut design space? I'm new to it all.

[@ShootingStarSVG]

@@blakeandaveryworld unfortunately no. You cannot export SVGs in design space. However you can use a free program like Inkscape!

[@monicab28]

The only issue with Silhouette is that if they don't have a business edition of the studio, they can only use the DXF files, no SVG's. At least that is my understanding. I have the business edition so don't know for sure. I wondered if I had to include the DXF files, and that's when I discovered this issue.

[@ShootingStarSVG]

@@monicab28 you're right that you need business edition to export and open SVGs. Basic will open DXF. I always include DXF for that reason!!!

What do I do if my image wont go onto design space. It says "The uploaded SVG contained the following items that are not supported: Unsupported image type"

Where do you buy the fonts? Are you buying as a bundle? How can you be sure that the place where you bought the fonts is not stealing the fonts from somewhere? For example, let's say you bought a font bundle on Etsy. The seller stole the fonts from other places and put them on Etsy. How can you be sure that this is not the case?

[@ssddddddddddddddd7310]

Hi! Thank you for this video :) Svg dosyasının çalışıp çalışmadığını kontrol edebileceğim ücretsiz bir yazılım var mı? Silhoutte business edition yazılımını kullanarak bazı hataları fark ettiniz ve düzelttiniz. Fakat o yazılım için maddi imkanlara sahip değilim :(

[@ShootingStarSVG]

Use cricut design space. If it works there you're generally good! You can also download that for free

[@dwightgoodman1973]

Wow 😎 thanks a million 👍🏽

[@ShootingStarSVG]

No problem 👍

[@ssddddddddddddddd7310]

4:44 What shortcut did you use to group here? When I load the svg into the Cricut design space software, I see the places of the 4 texts, like the design in the video, changed. so yours is on the bottom. and mine is 2 on the top and 2 on the bottom?

Is there a way to make the size smaller in Inkscape beforehand so there aren’t issues once in design space?

[@ShootingStarSVG]

The nice thing about SVGs are the are able to be scaled up and down with ease. No need to be concerned about size but really look at changing the scale in Inkscape

[@glamourknicks3965]

So I created a file on ink scape what are the differences between inscape SVG, plain SVG, compress ink scape SVG and so forth. Which one would I choose to upload on Etsy as a digital file

[@ShootingStarSVG]

Save it as an Inkscape SVG and you will be just fine. Be sure to test your file in cricut design space if you can!! Or find someone to test it for you. If you're in the FB group just drop me a message and I can take a look for you

[@erinrcross]

[@ema8909]

Does this happen with text svg that we create on Canva? If so, how do I "weld" the text so cricut properly cuts? Tyia

[@ShootingStarSVG]

You wouldn't be able to create an SVG from Canva. Only wall art prints or other prints since the program only saves in JPEG, PNG, or PDF.

@@ShootingStarSVG canva exports svg now

[@paranormaloracle-notyourmo9221]

Thanks! I'm really a noob at this but really excited to start. I have existing artwork that I want to make into printable wall art. I'm wondering if AI is better to use than PS since it's vector-based? I am more familiar with PS but have used AI here and there. I know that numbers are the lifeblood for an Engineer but they tend to shut my brain off LOL!

[@ShootingStarSVG]

If you're using artwork for printables you don't need to use vector based programs. Raster is fine (like photoshop) If you're looking for something free to start out with GIMP is a good option as PS is subscription based Affinity Photo is also good as well at a mid grade price point. You would need to have good scanning capabilities and resize as needed if that makes sense. Here if you need anything!

Love the tutorial! I am having trouble uploading to Cricut design space. It keeps telling me there are unsupported text elements. I have made the text a path, ungrouped, and unionized the text. I’ve tried multiple different times and ways it still does not work. The text looks like a path on Inkscape with nodes and all. But design space is still giving me the error

[@jenniferjames9428]

I am a little confused. Are you doing these as a dxf file would be done? I am trying to learn about these different files and how to create them. I am using Inkscape to create these files.

[@ShootingStarSVG]

I create as a SVG and save as a DXF file in Inkscape. DXF is used for Sil Studio basic edition and also glow forge and other machines. Basically just the outside lines of the cut file. Does that make sense?

For some reason it’s not working when I’m trying to do the stripes. The stars worked well. Any suggestions please?

Why does your inkscape look so much different than mine?

[@monicab28]

So do you want to have each different line cut out separately? I have been trying to make sure all of my lines and everything goes into Cricut so that it cuts out on one mat. Should I not be doing that?

[@ShootingStarSVG]

It totally depends. If it's one color then one mat is fine but if you are setting it up in multiple colors then one mat per color is what you want to go for
