Width of lines

[JohnR48]

When cutting out the heavier lines of the pattern below, would you cut out the entire line or just make one pass?

Thanks in advance citizens of the village.

The heavier the line, the more definition of the main subject you cut.

The dress (night coat) and hat need to be cut on the outer edges of the black.

As you said it: _{cut out the entire line !!!!}

You could use a little larger blade in the areas you think need to be heavier.

 

I used the same blade for the whole pattern,

On a pattern like this, I cut the black out. So if it has a heavy line it all goes.

I have cut this pattern using a 2/0 new spiral from FD....Made one pass , or on real heavy lines ran the blade  back thru like sand paper.......works for me.......like that pattern a lot , it is hanging in my Granddaughters room !

Thanks Steve and Wayne for clearing this up for me.

It's on its way to my grand daughter, when I get it done.

This has also been helpful for me also as I am cutting the same pattern at the moment for my Granddaughter & I am cutting out the entire line.

I always remove all of the printed line also, sometimes it takes more than one pass with the blade.

I cut all the way around to remove all of the black lines. I don't really enjoy doing veining (single line) cuts.
