    Can anyone tell me (or point me in the direction of a tutorial) how to curve or put text on a path in inkstitch? I know how to do it with normal graphic text but can't figure out how to do it with my embroidered lettering!

    With the current version you will have to move the glyphs individually. There is a life path effect which can help you to bring the lettering into a curvy shape, but this will cause some distortion which you don't want.

    The next Ink/Stitch release will have an additional extension: Lettering along path. If you can't wait to test it, here is a link to a development version: https://github.com/inkstitch/inkstitch/releases/tag/dev-build-kall-test

    And here is a short description on how to do it: https://inkstitch.org/docs/lettering/#lettering-along-path
