I found a method for creating bold pieces without simply entering bold text. After entering normal text, I can change the stroke width. Under Fill and Stroke, I select flat color under Stroke Paint, and I increase the width under Stroke Style. The problem with this method is that when I paint parts of the character, it increases the stroke width of the painted section a second time. This has unintended consequences when I tried doing this in an image with an image I didn't want to increase the stroke width of. I made these images with this method:

While writing this, it occurred to me that I can increase stroke width and then paint a section to increase its stroke width. So I tried this on a normal Queen SVG that no longer had text in it, and got a bold Queen. This will allow me to increase the boldness of my normal weight pieces as I need to when using smaller versions of them. But it's too late to get started on that tonight.
