Three ways to create machine embroidery

When they get the embroidery machine, the first thing everyone wants to do is put the letters together to create words and superimpose words on the design. Whether you want to embroider a new granddaughter's name on a bib or put your son's name on a T-shirt with his favorite sport icon, you need a way to create an embroidery machine that can be sewn. The word is out.

This article describes three different simple methods and more difficult manual methods for creating words.

1. Built-in font

Using the fonts built into your machine is the easiest way, at no extra cost. All embroidery machines come with built-in fonts for creating words. It's easy to select a letter at a time on the control panel. The machine combines them, depending on the machine's capabilities, you can resize them or perform editing functions such as rotating them.

The number of letters or words you can embroider at one time is limited by the size of the machine's maximum embroidery frame. Some machines can have multiple lines, while others can only make one line at a time.

The downside of built-in fonts is that when you want something special, the style is often quite clumsy or doesn't suit your taste. So sooner or later, you will want something different.

2. Digital font

You can find many gorgeous fonts that have been digitized for embroidery on the Internet for free, or buy them at Etsy or many other websites at reasonable prices. A good collection will contain all the letters, numbers, punctuation and some special symbols - all of which are designed to be merged together and perfectly stitched together.

Each letter is a separate embroidery design file. You need a way to combine them into words. Some embroidery machines [usually more expensive high-end machines] can be combined directly on the machine. If your machine does not have this feature, you will need to merge the letters and/or images using the embroidery software running on your computer and save them to a file for splicing.

3. Computer font

Many embroidery software programs also convert fonts from computers into embroidery designs. This gives you a variety of font style choices, but if you want something very interesting, you may still need to find a digital design.

4. Manual

You can also combine letters and designs manually. This is tedious and difficult, so I don't like to do this. But you don't have to buy extra software. The tricky part is to have the letters lined up and spaced correctly. You can set up the bridge and embroider one letter at a time. You may need to hoop or move the hoop again. Repeat all the letters and designs you want.

have fun!

Lettering is a fun way to add pizazz to any project, especially in combination with embroidery design to create clever claims.
