Thank you so much for this! I am certain it will work for me if I could just find the time to do the file over again. I had to trace the design onto a canvas by hand today for a private student because I just couldn't find the time to work on the file but my class is on the 9th and I know I will be able to get to it this weekend. Thanks again. I'll let you know how it works out.

Gabe, I checked my file and Fill Mode was set to Alternate already.

Firstdefence, how did you get the circle to not be filled. I understand what you said about opening up the nodes on objects I drew with the pen tool, but what about things that a drawn as shapes?

Thank you so much! I don't have time today to tweak my file but I will do it tomorrow and report back!

I am using Affinity Designer to create file to upload into Cricut Explore Air2, to draw embroidery designs on fabric. If I export a png file, the image looks perfect but the Cricut treats each line as an object and outlines it - not what I want. I want a line drawing. After hours with Cricut tech support, I discovered that by exporting my file as an svg, the single line problem was solved, however, the image broke apart into single strokes and scattered over the page. I tried grouping elements in layers and then grouping all the layers together and the file arrived partially intact and the rest scattered and chaotic. I am attaching 2 screen shots. the first is the png file that is plotted as an outline by Cricut. The second is the way the file looks when uploaded as an svg file. (I know why some of the circles are filled in and know how to fix that) If anyone can advise me, I would be so grateful.
