So glad I found your video. I have spent so much time trying to line up my porch sign. I have procrastinated doing the reverse side because of lining up issues. You have made it much easier. Thank you so much!
Thank you for making this video! So easy to follow. I've wanted to make a sign like this but didn't know how to align my letters. This is just what I needed! You are amazing!
I am so happy I found this. My cousin has an unused cricut that I can borrow for a day and make this sign for my new house that we moved in today. Any suggestions on where I can find the wood? I am not very familiar with art supplies. I am so sorry if this is a stupid question.
This is an ongoing debate in the vinyl world, some say yes and some say no. The vinyl I used has a 6-year outdoor life,. Since the wood was prepped properly (sanded and sealed so it's a nice even surface), I chose not to seal it.
Many thanks for taking the time to make such a well explained video. Could you apply the same method if making a stencil using the vinyl? I am trying to think it through in my head but maybe you have already done it? thanks
It would be a little different with a stencil. You would draw a rectangle around each letter that is the same size as the width of your sign. Then, you would just match up the straight edges of the rectangles, instead of using registration marks.
@@BurtonAvenue thank you for the reply, I did play around last night and used the registration marks and it worked however your idea here makes more sense and probable is quicker. many thanks
Great video very informative however What happens if I can’t group the letters to be Under 11.5? I’ve tried resizing & I can never seem to get them under 😭
You can put a set of registration markers between each letter. Then, just group one letter with one set of registration marks. You can also use a bigger mat and larger piece of vinyl if you can't get it under 11.5"
Why when I uploaded the design to d.s. the welcome is there but the "ish" an "depends on who u are" are not below the word welcome the are to the left of the "W" in the word Welcome?
THANK YOU! SO HELPFUL!

I usually get my wood from Home Depot or Lowes.
@@BurtonAvenue thank you. I will go take a look
Thank you for your video and all the details. Just wondering if it needs to be sealed with anything?

Do the registration marks need to be aligned in a certain way?
No. They just need to be in the same place on each layer you are cutting.
What kind of vinyl would you suggest to use if it’s not going under a covered porch?
I would use Oracal 651. It has a 6 year outdoor life on Black/White and a 4 year outdoor life on colors.
@@BurtonAvenue thank you!! 😊
Hi. Where did you get your pine wood from
Home Depot
Have you made any Garden Flags?
I made a Christmas one...th-cam.com/video/ocPn39LdDyI/w-d-xo.html
How big are your letter
how can i seal the sign? what to use ?
I used Triple Thick Polyurethane to seal my sign.
My design space only lets me zoom out to show 32" tall... Can I zoom out beyond 25%?
Unfortunately, you can't zoom out beyond 25%.
Why when I uploaded the design to d.s. the welcome is there but the "ish" an "depends on who u are" are not below the word welcome the are to the left of the "W" in the word Welcome?
I uploaded a new version of the file. Hopefully, it fixed that problem. Please let me know if it doesn't.
I'm going to check it later tonight and I will let u know....thank you!
What Font did you use for this?
The word welcome is Times New Roman
I did not see where to get the password.

Why did my machine only divide into 2 mats
How tall did you make the design before you sent it to cut?
@@BurtonAvenue my board is 60 so I made it 59
@@karenclarke6268 is it dividing it into 2-12”x24” mats or 2-12”x12” mats?
@@BurtonAvenue 2 12 X 12....one has all letters other just has W E
When you make the height 59", how wide did it make the design?
