How do I carve this along the actual shape

Easel Pro

I’m trying to carve this shape but when I use the Offsetter tool, it adds a gap/line that I don’t want. What I’m trying to do is basically create an outline he follows around the shape EDGE without cutting the shape into two pieces.

So, imagine the area circled still being there but also cutting along the exact shape without the big gap. Hopefully I’m making sense. haha

If I’m understanding the issue correctly, you may need to select both items and Edit>Combine them into a single design element.

I am in “pre-K” when it comes to working with this process, but I found on my first project I had that issue and used the “Combine” feature. It took me a while to find it, but I did find it.
