Looking for a Tutorial

[stevan]

I'm looking for a tutorial for inkscape that will show me how to make (do?) letters within letters similar to this image (downloaded from Schrollsawvillage).  I'm okay with inkscape, I just can't figure how to do this one.  So if you've done a tutorial or know where one exists, I would certainly appreciate a link.  Merry Christmas!!!

 

Edit: After putting this thread in here, I did realize that it should probably be in Pattern Making.

Thank You.   I didn't even know what to call it!

Steven, you might try to get Travis's attention and ask him your question. He's the Inkscape guru here. Just either send him a message or add a @to his name to get his attention. He's usually very good about answering in a timely manner.

Here's a tutorial by the sysop, the man, the legend; our own Travis Cook:

Thanks Wichman, I watched the video and actually almost understood it. I do get confused though on some terms that are close in meaning but do different things. Like group & combine & union. Or ungroup, break apart and so on. When to use which one when there is a choice. I guess it just takes time and experience. And I'm getting short on time.

Yeah, me too. I'm looking for a simple glossary for the basic terms used.

Here is a link the the whole series of lessons from Travis:

Thanks, I've watched and rewatched all of those and do start to get it but I just found this and it looks like what we might be looking for. I'm just starting to delve into it and I think it will clear up some things.
