How to manually adjust kerning in Cricut Design Space

What exactly is kerning?

Kerning is simply the space between two letters. That space can be adjusted automatically if the system you are working with allows it, or manually by moving the letters around.

How to manually adjust the space between letters in Cricut Design Space:

Step 1. Type out Your Text

Type out your text using your Text tool. This can be located on the menu on the left side of the canvas. 

Step 2. Adjust Font With Letter Spacing.

Once you have typed out your text, locate the Letter Space option on the menu above the canvas. 

Adjust the space between the letters by clicking on the upward or downward arrows - You can also adjust the letter space by clicking into the menu and typing in a value, instead.

Step 3. Weld Font

If you are using a script font, you will need to weld the letters together - This will ensure that when you go to cut your design, each word is fully connected and the letters will not cut out individually.

To weld the letters together:
Click on the Combine button (This can be found at the bottom of the layers panel) - Then select Weld.
