williams102 Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Hello my name is Mike. I found Scroll Saw Village a few weeks ago nad have found some very useful information. Ive had my saw for a few years but never really tryed to do anything very complicated with it. I'm semi retired and need to find something to do in all my spare time. I have helped my paster at church do some things for lent withe the saw but I would like to do more intricate things. One thing I just started to try to do is I downloaded one of the religious crosses with cursive writing and dont see how to cut the letters and keep them intact. Any suggestions would be appretiated.

Messman Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Mike I am so glad that you found us here at the Village. As far as your question goes if you could post the link to the cross you are talking about that would be most helpful, but in most cases when you look at a pattern you cut the black areas out, in some cases you cut the white but typically the pattern maker will indicate that on the pattern it's self. In some cases what Kevin was talking about takes place. More information can allow us to pinpoint the correct answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
