I have a request for a friends wedding. They want a style like MR&MRS on top of their last name, but the letters are cutout and connected as one piece. So it’s not a sign per se, but the letters are cut-out from the wood, but still connected from parts of the edge of the serif font. And because she is needy, they then want it to fit like a jigsaw. Is this even possible? ---

Have you thought about just doing the stacked text. This is very easy in Easel. ---

Can you give us a better idea of how it is to be laid out? I have an idea of what you are talking about, but I just want to make sure before I do any work on it. Maybe a hand-drawn image? {:0) Brandon Parker ---

This should help, same principles > [@Monogram / Door Hanger / Fatten Type](https://community.inventables.com/t/monogram-door-hanger-fatten-type/76740): > > I get a lot of questions on how to do this, see pictures below. Fatten Type You can use the Offsetter app to Fatten type. After you fatten it select all and fill. Then you will need to set the areas to either full depth or zero depth and then re-combine [1] Monogram / Door Hanger Remember once you set your outline you can control it somewhat on how it cuts by choosing, inside, outside or on path. Tabs are your friend with these I use one to two of them in every waste area. [IMG\_3262] [IMG… ---

I think the OP also wants puzzle piece cuts between the letters (or words) so that they come apart like a puzzle as well … At least that how I understood it. If you share that file, I can update it to add that. {:0) Brandon Parker ---

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS! That’s what i am looking for. And then somehow making it a jigsaw puzzle as well. The point of it is that each guest will sign a piece, and when it is all together, it will show the above picture. ---

@BrandonR_Parker If each guest is going to sign a piece that will be a lot of little pieces. They might have to rethink the puzzle pieces > **[Mr & Mrs. Schwisow](https://easel.inventables.com/projects/QKLd8i1BFSMkpijW5BlHzA)** > > by Russell Crawford EDIT: If they use the Justice of the Peace and 2 witnesses then 3 pieces will be good 😳 😀 😂 😂 ---
