Select all parts of 1 curl (drag a box around it) and hit ctrl-l (combine). Anything with a hole in it is going to have problems, fix them with combine. The hole is then part of the curl again.
Select your text ctrl-q (convert to curves). You can no longer edit the text, it's not text anymore. Hit ctrl-k (break apart).
If your text is "Baby" then:
- Select your B and its hole (drag a box around it), hit ctrl-l. The hole is fixed.
- Select your a and its hole (drag a box around it), hit ctrl-l. The hole is fixed.
- Select the b and its hole (a box), ctrl-l and it's fixed.
- Select your y and its hole (drag a box around it), hit ctrl-l. The hole is fixed.
- Select all 4 letters (drag a box) and hit "weld".
This is necessary because your text overlaps itself. Now your text is a perfect curve.
If your text is NOT baby, then make sure that IF text overlaps anywhere onto itself (script usually does), then do these steps and Ctrl-l (combine) the holes back into their letters (drag a box, ctrl-l). Then put it all together with a weld.
Next, put your curls where you want them. Chop parts off by creating a rectangle over the part of the curl you want gone and selecting this rectangle, then the curl, then click "Trim" button. Again, position your curls. Slightly overlap your text with the curl. Select curl and text and hit "weld". Your curl is now fused with the text. Do this with all curls.
Now use the shape tool (F10, select object first) do fixup the areas where curl meets text. (Delete nodes, usually, make smooth, whatever you need).
Voila!
