Mirroring Curved Text for HTV in Silhouette Studio (The EASY 3 Step Way)

A few months ago I did a post on how to mirror curved text for HTV (this is most commonly needed for logos).  My tutorial included at least half a dozen steps.   Since then I've been asked the question repeatedly and each time instead of sending folks to the Silhouette School tutorial I explain in a matter of a sentence.  You see, I am always learning, too, and honestly the tutorial was NOT the easiest way to mirror curved text in Silhouette Studio.  But I assure you I have since learned THE easiest way and now I'm going to share it with you!


Go ahead and wrap or curve your text as you normally would. By the way, putting text on a curve is called 'Text to Path.'  If you need a refresher check out this tutorial for curving text. 

Select the text.

Right click.

Select "Convert to Path"

Now you can delete the circle you were using to create the curved effect AND from the Replicate window you can mirror your text like you would any other image so that you can correctly cut on HTV.
