How to fill in a word for drawing?

[Kaivalya Designs]

Hi, I am having trouble working out how to fill in a word that I want to draw onto cardboard, when I did the line fill it is putting dots in (damaging the tip of pen) and the dots are going outside the line?
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks Kylie

The dots wont go outside of the line unless your letter isn't closed. Be sure the letters of the word are closed first.

How are you filling the letter? I don't want to confuse you by throwing something else at you - so what are you doing to get dots. How large are your letters? There are fonts that do better with writing than others and fill easier. So maybe if you share the name of the font, size and where you are with it, it will be easier to help.
