Not sure how to use the text tool in Silhouette Studio? Or maybe you're familiar with it, but not confident you're taking full advantage of all it can do? The Virtual Classroom: Master the Silhouette Studio Text Tool will get you over the learning curve faster than you can say Text to Path!
The
Virtual Classroom: Master the Silhouette Studio Text Tool is my now
retired live presentation material! I'm not teaching this content at
conferences anymore, which means you have a unique opportunity to gain access to
it through our new Virtual Classroom series.
I'll share little known tips on how to add notes to your design files so you never have to go searching for a font name, style, or size again. We'll go in-depth on sketch fonts including how to fill in fonts and how you can use sketch fonts for far more than just sketching!
I'll tell you the secret to turning any font into a stencil-friendly font and you'll learn why your printer is printing blank pages when you have text in Silhouette Studio!

What is a Virtual Classroom?
During this 85 minute video I'll present my original slides used when I taught the popular Silhouette Studio Text Tool class at conferences - which will never be presented live again! But this isn't just some boring PowerPoint (oh goodness no!). I mix the slides with demonstrations in Silhouette Studio to help reinforce what's being learned as well as to give you an opportunity for hands-on learning.
Now that you have the chance to take advantage of this valuable information, what exactly are you getting when you purchase this Virtual Classroom?
