Cut outs in outhouse doors

[easybuilt]

I have a customer who wants me to do cut outs in two outhouse doors. Like you would do a half moon. She wants a skunk, an opossum, a bear, & a raccoon for the 1st one. For the 2nd one she wants a moose, a squirrel, a eagle, & a cayote. Has anyone ever tried this and do you have any suggestions. I know I can find most animals on the forum files but they are not ones I can cut out to only show a outline. Any suggestions and thanks for the advise.

You can always just click on "Outline Pattern", then delete the original pattern to only be left with the outline. You may also want to do a google image search for line art of the given animal shapes. I think the line art may give better results with some tweeking.

Thanks for the help! That's a great idea, I'll give it a try.

If you have the pattern editor you can change any image into a one color image. Use the Quantize function. Remove the background and then set the Quantize to Number one.

You can also use this function to remove noise in your image.
