Great tutorial! I am 2 months into my Etsy journey and found so much value in this video. I created my own "cheat sheet" of the Groovy fonts already in Kittl to reference. Thanks for doing these, please continue to do so. I'm starting to work on Halloween designs so having fun with Groovy and Halloween :-)

I'm older than dirt.... and I went from hand signage, airbrush work, to learn Corel Draw and then Adobe Illustrator for all the signage instruction. I personally own three different screen printers, one for art prints and two multi screen machines. I've joined Kittl abd have downloaded a ton of your tutorials ... my business barter is my wife and I do most of the art work... I must say of all those out there, your's is great of the amount of references... saying that I still move designs to Corel Draw as they are similar and our bridging software to our CAMM1 vinyl cutters are for Corel and my printers are for Adobe.
Maybe I should cut some shirt boards and grab my old airbrushes and really go retro?

Thanks for the tip on inner borders vs. outer borders. I was just trying to figure out the border problem with script fonts (type faces). I figured out a work around for it (you just duplicate the word. put a border on the bottom layer, leave the duplicate on top with no border and you won't see the lines where the letters connect) but your way is better/easier/quicker. Thanks.
- the only addison

UGH!!!!THANK YOU MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!!!!I've been trying so hard to recreate this look for a sticker I want to do and I could not for the life of me figure it out in kittl LOL!!!

For the script example can you not weld the text before applying the effects?

[gsarjos]

I just opened my 2nd Etsy shop, Should I add Kittl as a production partner? thanks in advance

[nathanwilson]

I have several questions if you please? 1. Is the Free subscription all that is needed to make quality and professional looking designs/t-shirts? 2. What are the correct formats to use in order create Professional looking designs for POD, jpg...png...svg, etc.? 3. What are the correct pixel dimensions for images to put on t-shirts, mugs, phone covers, etc.? The reason I ask is that the free subscription is limited. Thanks

[donaldthomas]

Great video and KITTL is truly awesome. I have a question... How do you avoid copyright infringement?

[janeenmccoy]

Can I upload graphics/ Svg files from Creative Fabrica to create my unique designs ??
