Isabella,
The solution is in post #6 by Ray, with the settings described (both Clip and Invert Mask unticked).
You can use live Type (editable text) as it is, or outlined Type.
in the latter case, the text must be Grouped or turned into a Compound Path, This may be what you need to make it work.
Here are a few Adobe help pages, text and video:

Do you need something like this? I prepared to files one with stroke another without. You first object need to be extended as it consist from one path. The second part of text "le" have stroke and fill.

I'm guessing it looks exactly right with the mle in solid black
but isn't printing correctly, ie the colour hasn't been already knocked out under the mle , before it prints the black.
So they want to manually knock the colors out.?
Maybe change the document to cmyk and set 100k black
anyway it's got above my pay grade which isn't very high..

That is correct the mle needs to stay as is I just need the underneath of the swirl to have nothing in it at all, so that it doesn't print this underneath part of the swirl in the mle!
