I've just spent the better part of the day figuring out that the smallest font I can make on any of my 3 machines is just under 1/2" tall. What's up with that? I need to make a quilt label and I have a LONG last name. At this size ... my name stretches the width of the label. This just wont do. I'd rather not put first/last names on two different lines, and I'm already using Sue instead of Susan.
Suppose I'm going to have to look into downloading something. Either a font, or font software so I can scale it properly.

I just discovered a CD in the box that my embroidery machine came in. Called "Brother Embroidery Design Boutique 2" and has 126 patterns on it including alphabets. The problem is, I didn't get any documents with it so I have NO idea what patterns/alphabets are included. I can't view them on my PC and I'm not going to upload 126 of them to a USB then download them to the Brother machine where the screen is so small you really can't view well. Plus, I *suspect* that the alphabets are decorative monograms - not scalable fonts.
I'm trying to figure out if Embird is going to A) do what I want it to do, and B) work with my machine.

I use stitch era.. it allows me to see the designs without putting them on the machine. It also allows me to use true type fonts (found in word processors)to digitize to be stitched. Still here if you need some help. :)

Does your regular machine have a "signature" stitch where you can add a small signature?
I have the same problem with my embroidery machine. I either can't get the letters to reduce small enough or enlarge big enough. It's a real pain - because to me "It just won't let me do what I want".
