I'm a fairly new GIMP user. Be gentle. I'd like to duplicate the effect described in this Photoshop tutorial:
http://pshero.com/archives/text-in-stitches The critical part of this is selecting a path from text and using a custom brush to draw along this path. Once I've got this working, I can fiddle around with the background and brush type to make it look pretty. I've got as far as adding some text and turning this into a path using Layer->Text to path. I can then do "stroke path" with a brush of my choice. However, I can't work out how to adjust some of the more complex options, such as the direction of brushing and the distance between brush strokes, as described in steps 8 and 9 of the tutorial. How do I do this in the GIMP? If I'm successful, I guess I'll write this up in a blog post.
