Make The Cut Software - Video Tutorial (Break, Split, & Layer)
Alright so in the Make the Cut Software there are 3 features that may cause confusion on when to use them and what they do. Those three features are Split, Layer, and Break.
BREAK
When you break a shape, every inner shape becomes its own entity allowing you to move, size, remove or reuse any part of a shape you want.
LAYER
When you layer a shape, you end up with two separate entities: the background and the foreground. This is useful if you want to take a single shape and turn it into two separate colors giving the shape more depth. You can break, layer and split the resulting layers.
SPLIT
When you split a shape, every shape that isn't inside another shape becomes its own entity. This is useful when you want to split apart text. You can break, layer and split the resulting entities.

Make-the-Cut: How to Weld Text
In this tutorial we will cover how to weld basic text. Hopefully this will help you get the results you desire with this software. Below is a very basic example on the finished product of text that is welded together. Welding allows you to fuse objects together so that your cricut will make one continuous cut rather than cutting out individual letters that you will have to piece together.
