YOU ARE, A LIVING LEGEND!!!
your tutorial made me understand the basics for GIMP as i wanted to give it a try and possibly switch from Pixlr as GIMP has more features on it and it's free as well, thxx a lot for your explanation!!!

I appreciate the thoroughness of your tutorial and even design tips that you use.

For the text shadow issue, you could add a space in the text box to the beginning and end to keep it in the center, but also prevent the shadow from being cut off while still being editable text.

Could you please do a video on something that looks like it has a white background please and then add the transparent part in. Ie. I downloaded a stitch clip art because my grandchildren love this little character and when I added into print and cut in my cricut (ready to sublimate after printing and cutting) the background was white to my eye before printing but when it was printed it had a pink background I hope I've explained this well. TIA
