Awesome! I just found out a cool way to do insets :) 
 
You have the original shape, and you do a project of the curve shape you want to be inset onto it. 
 
Then you network it, and extrude it into a solid. 
 
Then boolean subtract it out. 
 
Easy :D 
 
One thing I find about MoI - it has so many "hidden" features! 
eg. Boolean Difference can also be used as a "slice" tool
