Sorry, no help here. I don't have a Cricut nor do I know how to do it with my Cameo but I would love to learn. I will try googling it.

I have the Explore.
Thanks for the link. I read on FB that you can use inkscape. Some people said it's hard to do and some think it's easy. This video seems pretty easy. I'll have to give it a try.

Do you have an offset feature? I have a Cameo so this is how I do it. I do my text then I highlight it with the offset feature which will give 2 options...offset or internal offset. it will also allow me to select a distance. Super simple on the Cameo.

I don't have an offset feature that I know of. I'm pretty sure Cricut doesn't have one, at least on the Explore, since I've seen a lot of people say they use Inkscape.

Does Cricut allow you to change your line thickness in the design window? Can you change the line thickness and then do a trace feature of just the outside that would give you an offset?
