    Hi,

    Thank you for this Video!
    I recently started laser cutting for fun and I love it! I’m having trouble making my fonts thick enough to be laser cut. I’ve tried increasing the stroke but that doesn’t seem to help much. Would this method help with my problem?

      Hi Mayra! As this is an older post, I’d recommend sharing your question the Treehouse Community where both teachers and students are always happy to help. 🙂
