Using the Object Properties docker, you can specify letter formatting before adding it to the design. This is the more traditional method and is useful with more complex designs. EmbroideryStudio provides a font range suitable for many applications. Select from the supplied embroidery fonts or convert TrueType or OpenType fonts installed on your system.
To create lettering with object properties...
- Right-click the Lettering icon to access object properties.
Enter the text you want to embroider in the text entry panel. To start a new line, press Enter.
Select a font from the Font droplist. To filter the list:
- Choose a font type: Embroidery, TrueType, or All.
- Choose a TrueType font style: Block, Serif, Script, Decorative, or All. These only apply to TrueType fonts.
- Type two (or more) characters of the font name to further filter the list.
TIP
Check min/max recommendations for each font and stay within them for best results. See Standard Fonts for details.
- Select a baseline from the droplist. Baselines determine the shape of lettering objects in a design.
Click Create Text in the docker.
Click on screen to place the lettering, or mark reference points for the selected baseline.
Press Enter to generate. Letters are filled with stitches according to current settings in the Object Properties docker. Change these at any time.
TIP
Lettering appearance and quality depends a lot on underlay which serves as a foundation for cover stitching.
