It worked great for me! I like your "teaching style". You explain everything so well. Thank You!

[@ashleefalco]

Thank you!! So sweet of you! I love teaching new things for all makers so this made my day!

[@toquita3d]

AMAZING tutorial! Thank you so much. You're a GREAT teacher! OMG. Super knowledgeable and you explain everything perfectly. Thank you! BTW I didn't need to put the text into a single line, I could just create a custom text box and then do this procedure and it worked. So maybe they've updated that.

THANK YOU FOR WATCHING!!!

Hi I love this video but for some reason reason my text is going in when I click flow to flame can you help please I’ve been trying for days

[@tonyastafford9144]

I am trying the same method but instead of lyrics from the internet I have names in word that I need to put into numbers. I got as far as "flow into frame" but it will not work from there. What would be your suggestion on this?

[@ashleefalco]

why won't it work? What are you seeing?

[@camsody9534]

Followed directions but when I "flow into frame," my text disappears! I made heart pink and text black??? Any ideas?

[@ashleefalco]

Make sure your text is in front of the shape. (Bring it forward). I’ve noticed that if the shape is above the text the text disappears

Thought I had found the solution to an issue I’m trying to resolve. However when I try to do this I can’t get the text to go on one line as demonstrated. I have a newer version of Inkscape. When I load a project the workspace is A4 - is that my problem? What is the purpose of the box? Is that a text box?. So frustrating!

[@ashleefalco]

I would just type everything out on one line. No matter the size workspace you have, it' shouldn't matter.

[@sarahcarpenter5374]

I was with you until the last part where you ungrouped then welded. I'm on a PC and couldn't find those command shift g and command shift plus sign

[@ashleefalco]

right click and press ungroup then go to the top select path and then union

[@rogervangorden2963]

I’m lost. Your Inkscape page looks totally different than mine and I haven’t a clue what to do.

[@ashleefalco]

you probably have the newer version of Inkscape - the buttons are all there. I would suggest listening to what buttons I say to press and locate them on your screen.

@@ashleefalco I’m gonna have my husband help me follow your video. He’s got more computer experience than I do.

[@patcoombes820]

How do you space out letters please to make one line

[@ashleefalco]

you just type out your letters all in one line.

[@patcoombes820]

Thank You for replying, When I pasted the lyrics I can not understand how You edited it for one line. So I retyped it myself in one line. is there a way to show How You did this please .@@ashleefalco

Why don't you just draw a heart, that's what inkscape is for.
