I'm about to digitize my first design and need the wisdom of the group. In training, underlay wasn't addressed. When I asked, I was told to only add it if needed. I know I need underlay for lettering, but what about logos & designs? The Dakota designs don't seem to use underlay. This is confusing for a newbie like me!
