Hi All

This forum was set up to hopefully help people who have electronic cutting machines to learn how to make the best use of Inkscape in Designing and turning into cuttable files. My Aussie Friend Carolyn has some wonderful no nonsense tutorials that will help us all understand how to use Inkscape. Hopefully you will all have downloaded Inkscape as a first step to learning Inkscape.

We will be setting out Rules and Regulations soon enough to keep us and yourselves out of trouble.......
