- Today we're creating a short and easy tutorial on how to create an offset (also called an outline or outset) of text using Inkscape. You can use this SVG file in Cricut design space, or other design apps as well.

You can tag me when you post crafts made with my tutorials, I love seeing what you make!
There's definitely a lot, it's a pretty powerful program. But I wanna make it super accessible for people, it opens SO MANY doors for your cricut and other machines. Most of the limits we face in DS don't exist in Inkscape, it's fantastic.
I had not been able to delete the spaces I did not want until I watched your video. Even though my Objects panel did not appear the same as your Object Panel (probably because of a different version) I was finally able to make it work by just playing around a little, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
Mary Jane Friedmann yay! I’m so glad it helped
You don't sound like an asthmatic anteater, just someone who wants to share, and we thank you. This answered my questions.
Thank you! Very easy to understand! This is the 3rd video I’ve watched just trying to learn to offset and the first I actually understood!
Several have commented already but I too agree...after watching lots of offset tutorials this is the best one! Thankyou
even this tutorial didn´t show real offset. only make a line bigger. offset means totally something differetn.
I have only had Inkscape for a week now (the beta version) and this is the ONLY tutorial that works for offset in beta! Thank you so much. You made it super simple to understand!
THIS IS AMAZING, THANK YOU! I've watched so many tutorials and they all seem so easy to follow but I didn't have success until watching yours. You do a greattttt job of explaining and walking through exactly what to do. More tutorials please!!!
Thank you! This is the first time I have been able to get Inkscape to do what I needed. I have watched so many and most have missed a step or two. This finally worked.
Amazing! I do this offset operation so many times before but with this video, I learned so much efficiency in doing it. Thank you!
This was by far the best explanation of how to do this! I watched so many and was still confused, this I got it first try and even did it again by myself after! GREAT teaching!! thank you!
Out of all the videos I watched, you were the only one who made it super simple ! Thank you !
Lucero Garcia this made my day! I’m glad I could help!
i have watched a few of the tutorials now for the offset in Inkscape and i have to say you have explained it the best. Thanks so much for your help.
Congrats on your 1st video! You explained each step perfectly! Very easy to understand. Thanks so much for this!!
Thank you!
SO HELPFUL!!! Perfect speed and so easy to understand.
Thank you very much for showing me an very easy way to add the shadow. Seen more than 5 videos and all confused me. Yours way was very very easy. Thank you.x
I’ve watched a lot of these and this was by far one of the most clear! I finally got it. Thank you.
I have always done these for my laser cutter in Lightburn, but this is much better now I have Inkscape... I can do them in the warmth of my office instead of the shed :D
Thank you thank you explained this better then any videos I have watched. I have been trying for weeks trying to do offset.
Thank you!!!! I struggled through trying to do an offset for a hoodie my husband wanted. This is a million times easier!!
Thank you SOOOO much. This was my first time using Inkscape & I was able to follow along. I've been doing this in Design Space & they are just OK. This is going to make such a difference. Can't wait to watch your other videos.
WOW! I am so glad I came here Yours is the best!!!
Thank you for not smacking into the mic like so many others
Thank you for an easy to understand video. I've tried to use inkscape several time. I finally made a offset text!
Sooo... You asked us to let you know what we think of your tutorial in the comments... YOU ARE AMAZING! I am a very heavy TH-cam tutorial watcher and this was such a great video that I am literally commenting for the first time ever in TH-cam! I am creating my first inkscape file (after deleting a million other attempts because it was too confusing), and it's all thanks to you. You are an amazing teacher, seriously. My only complaint is that you only have a few tutorials! PLEASE consider making more, I would probably watch them all even if I had no idea what you were doing because you are so chill and easy to follow. If you want ideas on content that viewers may be interested in, I see all these buttons in inkscape and it seems like there are a lot of features, but I have no clue what they are. It would be so awesome if you did more tutorials on things we can do using this app. I have a Cricut, so whatever I do in inkscape would mostly be used in Cricut Design Space, but I would love to learn anything you're willing to teach! Thanks so much for taking the fear out of working in inkscape for me; I feel like I'm now more willing to push buttons and try things, and if I screw everything up, I'll just hit delete! I hope you see this comment because I will definitely be checking in often to see if you have posted any new tutorials :)
Thank you for this tutorial! Extremely easy step-by-step...worked perfectly!
You made this so easy to understand! Thank you!!
Ahh!! Thank you so much for this. This was the easiest tutorial to follow on offsetting.
The best tutorial. Thanks so much!
I watched like 3 tutorials before you and yours was exactly on point ❤ thank you!!
This was really useful! Thank you recording and sharing.
Thanks a lot. Offset is something I always mix up in Inkscape with those other settings. This was nice and simple. I never use the Object Panel because I use the layers tool, but I'll probably switch now!
Thank you so much for creating a how to video that I can understand!!!!
Thank-you so very much! Super helpful! Quite the game changer for me!!
thank you thank you thank you - this is so easy! I tried to teach myself inkscape but was missing a few steps (I would still have to weld in cricut design space). making an offset is so easy in inkspace. thank you! you are awesome!
“Asthmatic anteater” 🤣 This was great-offsets in DS are so complicated so this was super helpful. Thank you!!
Thank you, that looks so much simpler than I ever thought. Inkscape looks very intimidating.
Exactly what I needed for my project today, super helpful & to the point! Thank you!!
Great tutorial! I need to watch this about 12 times to get it down and then save it for reference.
Best tutorial! THANK YOU!
Great tutorial much better than some others Very easy to follow. Thank You!
Thank you, tutorial is very easy to follow.
I’ve probably watched this about 1000 times! I need all the Inkscape tutorials. Lol anything cool that will help with designing, I need to know.
OMG! Thanks.. str8 to the point and great pace with talking
This is the best I agree! I will reference you to others!
Omg this is a lot, however you move at a pace where we can keep up, also, you dont over complicate the program making viewers even more confused lol. Thank you for your time patience and expertise!!
This tutorial was so clear, and exactly the info I have been searching for. Thank you so much!
Thank you! I am so happy that I found this video. I was about to buy an offset font. Now I can make my own, and use the font I want.
Thank you so much!!! Very easy to follow!
That’s awesome! I’ve been so intimidated by Inkscape... so many buttons 😂 but I’ll try our offset soon! Great job explaining 👏🏼👏🏼
thank you! Let me know if you try it!
I followed along & it worked beautifully! Thank you so much!!!!!

Offset is perfect for cutting with laser. Thanks!

Thanks a bunch for sharing! I love Inkscape but I don’t know how to use it to its full potential
Fantastic! Thank you!
This was super easy to follow. I did get a little confused about how to remove the black "dots" after Combine/Break. Any pointers would be helpful. Thank you
This was perfect, Thank you! You did a good job.
Thank you!!! This is so helpful!!! I have being trying to use this but I am so intimidated by all the buttons. 😊
Awesome!!!! Great job I've seen other tutorials but this was a lot easier and nicer looking.. thanks
Great video. You make it easy to understand. Are there written instructions somewhere?
Awesome video! Super easy to follow - thank you! 🙏🏼❤️
Finally! I get it.
Thank you very much for this video.
You made this look so easy!! Thank you so much ☺️
This was just what I needed! Thank you!
Perfect! You were great! Keep it up!
DUUUUUUUUDE literally going to download this program today! 😍 great job on your video, it was awesome!! Very easy to follow! Now I just have one question, when you save the file as an SVG and then upload it to Cricut Design Space, does it know that there are two separate layers?
Yes it does, and cuts them separately :)
Hello Beauty,
Thank you for this video... you saved my life... lmfao 😁👍🏽👍🏽
So easy for me to make something great with an offset !!
Take care 😄
Brilliant!
Great video I have a hard time with Inkscape do you have a video on uses for designs and sublimation?
Awesome. Thanks!
THANKS SO MUCH!!!
Beautiful! Thank you for the info! Super easy to learn from, I will definitely be subscribing! Good job for your first time!! Keep it up :)
Lol! Great video Joey! I need to learn inkscape for real!
So good thanks for help
Thank you for doing this. It's a complicated program. I'm having trouble with one little glitch. Seems like there are so may small ways this program can be obscure. I can't get my objects panel to open up like ours. I can't see all the parts at one time. Just 2 so I have to scroll down. Makes it very hard to sort which part to hide. Thanks ahead of time, Linda PS You did a great job!
thank you so much this was so easy to follow :0)
Thanks. I'm just making the transition (withdrawal) from Illustrator to Inkscape and need all the help I can get. LOL
thank you! can I add more than one layer, with diffrent colour?
thank you this was very easy to follow its my first day of ink scape ......is there a way to crop a photo?
Oh my gosh!!! I have been trying to do offsets for two weeks now and I finally did it after watching yours!!! Thank you so much!!!
One thing...at the end when you said that one of the things in the right panel will be grayed out...I didn’t have one grayed out. Did I do something wrong?
Me either... 🥴
Teach me to make slime. Your voice is so soothing
Lmaooo I will put that on the list! We still make it all the time lol
What an excellent and informative video. 😊
I loved it. You're great. New sub
Can you make a video on how to create a glow on text? sometimes a shadow is took dark, thick and solid
bravo maam
