Default roland MH 721 - how to do a 2 color vinyl transfer?

I'm sorry if I did this wrong by posting on here. I Have a Roland MH 721 and I bought Siigncut X2 LE and bought also coraldraw X3 Well I found clipart on the net and now where do I go from there any clues, I want to vectorize and send to signcut X2 LE but dont really know how. Whats happening is that I can get the image to show up on coraldraw and make the image black and white. So then I go to signcut and open that file and the image is outlined twice. So two layers but when I put it on signcut it changes to one layer. So when I go to cut it, I'm just wasting that other layer. I want to be able to change it with another color. Well please help Thanks

Where did you buy your cutter from? They may be able to offer some help with the 2 color designs.

I know some members here use signcut and do 2 color vinyl transfers, so hopefully they'll see this and share their experience.

I use X3 to also do 2 color transfers in vinyl but I ungroup the image and cut them seperately. So you would group the first color, cut it, Change the vinyl and then group the second color and cut it. Once you have cut both colors and weeded them you will heat the first color to the shirt peel and then apply the second color ontop or around the first color and heat to apply and peel. I hope this helps you. I have applied this process to T-shirts, hoodies, and jackets.
