When using Inkscape to create SVGs, your path’s are ofter grouped together and translated. This translation might cause problems when using the SVG with fabric. Let’s assume a simple cross, consisting of two crossed lines. Inkscape produces something like this out of the box.

I found a question on Stackoverflow which solves this (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13329125/removing-transforms-in-svg-files)
The trick is to remove the g tags around your paths, reopen the svg in Inkscape, rearrange the shapes and to save again. Now the transform statement is gone and you can “re”-edit your SVG using Inkscape.
