We were actually discussion using a piece of software to make keychain patterns for use with the CarveWright - but this is how I import scroll saw images as well.... hope this helps.

Step One: Download the software

Step Two: Type in the name that you want to cut



Step Three: Because there is no save option in the software - you are going to need to take a screen shot and edit the name out in your image editing software



Step Four: Save the image and then import it into Designer



NOTE: as you import the image "Lower" it in the impoter to get rid of the background - just leaving the keychain itself.

Five: Once you have the image saved in Desinger - the rest is kind of an experiment. Some of the images can be placed directly on the board and will cut fine - some need a little fine tuning in the Pattern Editor.

If Designer won't let you cut the image out then double click on it and open it the Pattern Editor. Once you have it open in the Pattern Editor - click on "Filter" - select "Smooth" and set it to 10 - click OK. Now take the "eye dropper" and select the empty background - then select (or delete) the green areas from around your design. (this is making the spaces between the letters just a little larger)



When you finish editing it then select "File" then "Save Pattern to Library"

Step Six: Place the images on your board the way you would like it....



Step Seven: Right click on your image and select "Outline Pattern(s)" - when you have your outline highlighted you will see the "cut out" or "saw" icon lit up (hopefully - if not repeat step 5) if it is lit up then click on it and set up your cut out



NOTE: it is very impotant that you delete the original image from your Pattern.... it will make some funny cuts if you don't.
