Do I still press Weld in Design Space?
No. The shape arrives as one connected path already.
Cricut welded names
Welded cursive names for Cricut, done before the file reaches Design Space
Design Space welding flattens layers, loses letter holes, and has to be redone every time you change the name. WeldWords does the welding in the file itself, so you import one clean connected shape.
Two free words. No software install. SVG and DXF included.

Why Design Space welding frustrates people
Weld flattens everything and you lose editability
Letters only touch instead of truly overlapping
Holes in a, e, and o disappear after welding
Every new name means repeating the whole routine
No easy way to handle thirty names at once
Why WeldWords is easier
Real overlap welding, not touching edges
Letter holes stay open
Change the name and it re-welds instantly
Paste a list and weld every name at once
SVG and DXF, sized in inches or millimetres
How it works
