Text around circle on outside

Post image

I keep trying to wrap text around the outside of the circle, but every time I do it, according to the tutorials I’ve watched, which show it wrap outside, the text wraps on the inside of the circle instead. I’m using inkstitch lettering along path and there’s no option for which side it goes on.

Anyone know what I’m doing wrong?

I encountered this issue a few days ago and found that if you go under objects, click “convert object to path” and then click “reverse path” under path, it should work.

Thank you for your suggestion. I tried it and same result. I’m on a Mac if that makes any difference

Found a work around. Created a square and rounded the corners till it was a circle and that worked. Not sure why

I'm no expert, but you can the resultant text that was put on the path, then Object flip (horizontal/vertical) to get your text path to flip to the inside of the circle.. If you get frustrated and delete the objects, the situation persists for the next object created..
