If you’ve only been using “text to path” in Silhouette Studio to curve words into a circle, then you have barely scratched the surface of what this fun feature can do. Here’s a video that will start with the basics and move on to the techniques that will make you a power user.
And be sure to grab Border Bits, the font I demo in the video, here.
[…] a cut file from the Silhouette store, but altered it using a “text to path” tutorial by Clever Someday to create the greeting. The scene inside was created with free digital cut files by Bird’s […]
[…] For those of you who use Inkscape, Silhouette Studio, SureCutsaLot, Make the Cut or even MSWord, I’ve included many characters made just for text to path so you can make your arrows bend, curve or circle any way you want. Silhouette users can upgrade their text on path skills with this video. […]
[…] If you’d like to use a different font for “EVERYTHING”, you can shape it into a curve by using the text-to-path tools in Silhouette Studio. This blog post is already way too long, so I won’t go into that here. For an excellent video tutorial on text to path, check out Kay’s How to be a Text to Path Power User. […]

Why can’t I see the video? There’s no preview and it’s not clickable 🙁
Not sure Karen. Is working fine for me. Might be the crazy weather or something. Hope you will try again later.
I can’t see a picture either. Just listening has me a bit lost
Maybe try going to Youtube and viewing it from there.
Love this tutorial and all the characters! Thank you so much!!

Thanks so much for your wonderful video and the Border Bits font. What great information!
Fabulous video. Thank you for it and the font.
Wonderful tutorial and font! Is it possible to weld the Shift + C character around a shape to make 1 item? Each time I cut I get the border and shape separately nice but I wanted a mat. .
Great tutorial! Thank you! I’m a beginner on Silohuette and this helped tremendously!
Love your video, very informative. When I try to use the toggle to move my work inside the circle it will not move. I can’t find anything online to resolve this issue. Please help!
Thank you.
Sometimes the “sweet spot” is not where you expect. Hover and circle around the area until the cursor changes to a plus with arrows and then you will be able to drag the “trolley”.
Very Pretty and great Tutorial ! Thanks
My mind is blown! This is fantastic! And glad someone else asked what an option key is 🙂
When I clicked on the download ‘here’ button it takes me to page that has Border Bits and a download button. I click on that and nothing ever happens. What do I need to do to get this cute little font?
Box.com seems to be having technical difficulties. I re-uploaded a new folder and was able to download it. Please try again and thank you for bringing this to my attention. Hope you enjoy Border Bits.
Thank you for the font. I used it for a gift and it worked very good. I will use this more… i already know. Thanks.
