You can specify letter formatting before adding it to the design. Select from the supplied embroidery fonts or convert TrueType or OpenType fonts. If you are embroidering on a child’s outfit you might use a simple font like Childs Play. If you are embroidering on a ladies nightdress you might use an elegant script font like Anniversary.
