Welding is a great way to combine text, library shapes and SVG files into seamless objects that cut as one piece! Unlike the Path / Union feature, welding allows you to create seamless objects while maintaining the properties and characteristics of the individual elements that make up the final product!

- Adding type to the mat using Type Tool
- Using the Keep Proportions check box
- Changing font size
- Changing the font of type on the mat
- How to use the Weld check box
- Grouping / Ungrouping Text
- Overlapping and manipulating individual letters
- Selecting and working with multiple elements
- How to preview the cut
- Welding SVG file from Personal Library

Sure Cuts A Lot 2 Welding
Love it! Thanks Leo!
I did not know about the shadow value…..big help….that will be very useful. Thank you for another great tutorial
Thank you, that will be very useful. I’m going to try it out right now.
Thanks for the tutorial! I would like to know how to get my Sure Cuts A lot screen to be laid out like the one in the tutorial. I love the way the mat is laid out.
I thought I knew all there was to know about welding. Thought it was one of the few things I had a handle on in SCAL, but sure enough (as always) there were lots of little tid bits of info that you presented that I did not know and will make working with SCAL easier and boost our creativity. Thanks so much for sharing your time and expertise.
I have been trying to do this for 2 days
I LOVE U !!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!
You are a great teacher, your manner is very clear and somehow you make the tutorials simple. Thank you
Thanks for the great tutorials! They are easy to follow – it’s just like getting one-on-one coaching.
I have learned sooo much with your guys’ tutorials. I have had SCAL for over a year now and didn’t know much about all this cool features!!
Thanks a lot
Thanks so much–learned a lot, especially about shadowing. Now though, I wonder if you can help me figure out how to weld a word inside an oval. I seem to want those for my scrapbook pages but I can’t get it to work. Thanks so much, C
At last. Been so unable to do this without the centres of letters disappearing when I welded (in a blackout sort of way). Now, after months of frustration and writings to craft edge, it doesn’t happen. Still don’t know why but it has worked by following your tutorial. Must look up the others and see what else I’m missing.
