You could learn how to do 'thread calligraphy'. Takes some practice, but very easy after you learn it and it's beautiful. http://www.threadcalligraphy.com/ Good luck!

Phyllis, it wasn't me--I live in Indiana County. But it is a small world :-D

Thanks to all for all the suggestions. I can see I'm going to have to do some more research and should probably see some machines in action.

It sure is a small world. I live in Indiana, Pa. I also have a Janome 6600 (which I love) but wanted a machine to do alphabets for quilt labels. I ordered online a Brother SE 400 which should arrive in a few days. Can't wait to learn machine embroidery!

I'm with those who say get other alphabet fonts online and download them to your computer, then USB to the machine. Also to check and make sure your machine can't increase the size of your fonts.

Sorry, not familiar with your machine, but if you can get what you need without buying a new one, I'm for that.

What a coincidence! I'd love it if you let me know how you like the Brother once you have a chance to try out the alphabet embroidery.
