When working with GIMP you can save your work in any file format you
choose BUT your current work book will remain as xcf capable until
you close it. So before you close GIMP- SAVE your work as a xcf
also! The rest is as Owen said - use layers, etc.

Change the sign of the fill angle to change the direction the letters will

On esuggestion:
Be sure you create the banner and its text at a high enough image
resolution. It may be rendered as fuzzy or jagged if the text's bit-image
is enlarged substantially for printing or viewing (in contrast to
vector-based graphics). I had this problem when I started out.

As another poster mentioned, an image pipe brush might do what you want. The
trick is, to get the brush to "follow" the path and rotate appropriately.
This is doable, but due to the limitations of the number of images you can have
in a pipe, the available increment of rotation may not be enough
