thank you so much for this!!! I just got my gypsy 2 months ago and I still haven't figured out what that "weld' key was! LOL! Now I know what it is and I know how to make welded letters. yay! There really needs to be a manual in the box. :/

I've been welding, but never with a shadow, and thanks to you, I now know how to do it. Three cheers for Christina!!!!

Thanks for the great tip! I've always welded the shadow first, and then I've had to glue the regular letters separately. I love your method!

I'm confuses...I understand all of it...but the copy from page 1 to page 2.....I don't get it.....I dont see how you can copy on one page and bring it to another.....

Thanks Christina, I still haven't gotten a Gypsy yet but I think now I am going to have to get one. Do you know if you can the feature to see the layers while working on the is there with GDS also. That would help also.

Thanks for sharing! I have had my gypsy for sometime and don't have a clue as to how to use it right. Mostly because I don't have the time it takes to play and understand it, and pretty upset that it didn't come with a guide, so this was very helpful. I tried welding and it was a mess, and that was one of the main reasons for getting it, so thanks for sharing this tip! I really appreciate it. You just help me have a slap the forehead moment why didn't I try it that way!

Wow, wish I would have seen this a few days ago. Took me forever to shadow my words on a project I was working on just the other day. This way is so much easier. You have several good tips in this one tutorial. Can you do more like it?

Thanks so much Christina. I've wanted to do this and I've even seen others' videos and still did not "get it". You have made this seam easy peasy.... Can't wait to see more Gypsy videos. I just bought an Imagine and I know I will be using my Gypsy more with it.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Thanks Cristina. This was great. I didn't know you could weld all the letters together at once. I always welded one at a time. I didn't know you could copy things from one layer to another. This was very informative. Thanks for posting.
