Hi all, I am having a bit of bother using Design shop pro + v9, to create sew 
files for laser cut letters...
For example I create the name SALLY IN Adobe illustrator which i then copy and 
paste into design shop. I then run the convert to appliqué function with walk 
normal outline stitch,walk normal tack down stitch and cover stitch turned off 
as I am using twill so no need for a cover stitch. Problem is design shop 
treats all the letters separately so it wants to laydown placment stitch for 
the S and then the tack down stitch for the S before moving onto the A.. What I 
want is for the outline stitches for all the letters to be sewn first S,A,L,L,Y 
and then followed by the tack down not one letter at a time. 
The only work around I have so far is to use the offset path command in 
Illustrator witch creates my original cut line with a 1.5mm inner path which is 
the copied into design shop  as two vector objects, I then convert the 
outerline into a walk stitch for placement and the inner line into the tack 
down stitch.. Simple enough but would be nice to be able to use the appliqué 
command.
