I iam trying to use projects from easel and trying to do simple signs in easel but I either get the letters offset from each other or the program carves correctly then sets over about 4 inchs and starts carving it again over what it already did any ideas?

Chances are that you have a problem with the belt tension, allowing the stepper motors to skip steps, thus continuing in the wrong place.

If you haven’t turned up your y-axis voltage on the grbl shield, you’ll probably want to do that.
