I love using Sure Cuts a Lot for fonts like this where you would otherwise have to check a chart to determine which letters are selected. SCAL lets you just pick the letters you need from a graphic representation.

 

Here I am uploading my SVG file into Design Space as a Vector Image.

 

The file is imported with the same layers created in SCAL. I can manipulate the layers separately if I want to cut the two pieces in different colours or I can attach the pieces so that they are cut as laid out. If I cut two different  colours, I will have to align my cuts and press them separately with the heat press or iron.

A heat press is not required for Cricut Iron-on. You can use an iron and achieve the same results.

 

Always remember to flip your design when you are working with Iron-on material.

My video below takes you through all the steps:

Have you had a hard time adding nodes to existing shapes in Sure Cuts a Lot. I'm not surprised because it is a bit tricky, but in this video, I show you how to add and delete nodes and why it doesn't seem to be working, which is what I thought at first.
