    Posted by Erica Reichard on August 30, 2015 at 3:51 pm

    I cannot figure out how to create the loop in the letter B as shown in the example image attached. I want to create a similar look with it looped/threaded around the letter T in my case.

    Any suggestions?

    Please see the attached project file…

    Delete Structure with Pathfinder project file >>

    The steps listed in the project file are:

    1
    Live text.

    2
    Type > Create Outlines.

    3
    Add a stroke and increase weight in Stroke palette

    4
    Select the stroked object and Object > Expand

    5
    Use the Group Select tool to select the outer edge of the stroke. Then Copy, Delete. Edit > Paste In Back.

    6
    Use the Group Select tool and shift-select the T and the back object. Then Effect > Pathfinder > Minus Back.
