Nic, is this what you mean (see image)? Could you show the individual elements of what you want to weld together which might help with simulating what to do to achieve what you want? I just put this together with random elements in my library so please excuse the total lack of design!!

Andi it's the corners in the first post but as they have straight edges I can't see how Nic can get the effect she wants
Okay, understand the probs now. I have tried to make a work round for you but it won't quite give you the example you have posted. If you treat it a bit like you would stencil letters and make little tabs (weld them to the corners) and then position the corners slightly offset so the tabs overlap the frame and then weld you would get my example. Does that help at all?
Of course, I wasn't thinking. If you don't make the frame a compound path to begin with but make the corner a compound path, position it into the corner of the inner frame and subtract, you get this, is this any better?? Then select the whole thing and make it a compound path. I am getting old, the memory isn't so good Of course, you would have all four corners to subtract at once.
Doreen, sorry it might be me.... I thought she wanted it to look like the one she has uploaded in post #17. It's never easy to see what's in someone else's mind!! Plus we don't always have the exact files unless they have come from here. That frame has more cutouts than the one she is using, so will look different.

Don't apologise Andi. I think if it was filled with colour Nic's would probably look much the same as the one in post 17 as you's would too. But from the other's that have been posted I thought she only wanted part of it welded to the frame which I can't see is possible with something that has straight edges
Hi
I realise it is clear as mud to you ladies what I am trying to achieve so many thanks for bearing with me. I want the edges attached but not the shaped bit so when it is cut out the shaped scalloped bit etc is suspended / free
Not sure if this would work with your corner but you could try releasing the compound path of the corner, make a small offset of the inside pieces, this gives an uneven edge then weld them to the Frame
The only way I can see for you to have it partly floating is like the screenshot below because it has to be welded to the frameScreenshot_5.png. Looks like Shirley and I have posted together
