I have had one since I started crafting a few years now, i love the finished effect, but this may sound silly! what are the tips for making sure you have your lettering is straight and evenly spaced.  I use it now and again but would like to use it more.  Just cannot grasp how to embossed lettering neatly.
many thanks

Ann

Sorry Ann I don’t have one so can’t help.  Hope someone else will pop along who may know the answer for you.

It might be like calligraphy where practice makes perfect. The more you use it the familiar you will become with the placement of the lettering.

I do a lot of calligraphy and I can tell you it took me a long time to learn to space the letters evenly and align them correctly. This is the same with most crafting tools.
