Tips for cleaner results

• Each colour in the SVG becomes a separate layer, so fewer colours mean fewer mats.
• Use Weld for lettering so overlapping shapes cut as one piece.
• SVGs traced from photos can contain thousands of tiny paths. Fewer colours and a lower detail setting when tracing give lighter files that are easier to edit in Cricut Design Space.
