Small French curve for tight radii, as a solid black shape
Small French curve for tight radii. The preview is the SVG file itself.

A short scroll that tightens faster than the large one, for small work: lettering, scrollwork, toy patterns. Cut it 60 to 80 mm long. A slot down the middle gives a second, tighter pair of edges.

Scaling a design scales its thinnest part too. Here is this one at seven sizes, from 1 to 12 inches on its longer side, with how many copies fit a 12 × 12 inch sheet or mat.

The narrowest part is the thinnest neck that holds the design together; sharp tips are not counted. For wood and acrylic, keep it at least as wide as the sheet is thick. How to open the file in Cricut, Silhouette and laser software.
