EPISODE DESCRIPTION
A quick and highly requested episode for you guys! Everyone has been asking me how to create custom outlines of weird items for engravings, so we’re going to tackle this together. We’ll create custom outlines in both Adobe Illustrator AND Lightburn, and the outlines we create will work in Lightburn OR Ezcad. Very easy and super quick. Hope it helps!
