Here I am again folks, sorry to be a pain in the A*%#.  

I found this pattern on Steve Goods site, and would like to present it to a very close friend on Monday, Nov. 10.  Veterans Day in the U.S. is Nov.11, but I won't be ableto see him then.

I was able to use the text that I want, but I can't figure out how to make the text follow the image around the rope.  If someone could help me with this problem I would appreciate it. 

Thanks in advance.

HI

I do a similar pattern for mimi.  It was an original Steve Good pattern.  This is for US Navy Vet but I do the same for US Navy  .  the logo is different???

I created a circle the right dimension and take the text (Arial heavy) and text>put on path. Then I have the text touch circle and do union.

I see Steve's pattern is glued to a backer.  I might take the backer make a little bigger and then take the letters and glued to backer at the bottom in a circle.

If this seems outside your comfort zone you can send me the name in upper and I can see what I can do and what pattern
