How to Use the Offset Tool

Sometimes a font you want to use for a project is too thin to cut. This is often the case forcursive handwritten fonts. The offset tool is great for making text thicker.

1- Open Silhouette Studio.

2- Type out a word using the Text tool.

3- Add some spacing between each character so there is room for the offset lines.

4- Click on the offset tool, then hit Offset, input the distance, and hit apply.

5- Delete the original word.You'll want to group it back together since they are now separate shapes to the software.

Now you have a word thick enough for your next project!
