You can get letter patterns at any teacher store. Sometimes Wal-Mart carries them as well. I ironed my stabilizer on the back of the material, then traced the letters in reverse because when you apply them, they'll have to be facing the right direction.

Realize you already have what you need but craftygater's idea is how I do it. Have also gone to office supply stores.

When I need a font for print out or for computer I google free fonts. You will find thousands. Just look for one you like and download. Install on computer and print any size you want.

A teacher supply store might be a good place to look....on line if there isn't one in your area.

I use the font 'Century Gothic' on my computer and then choose 'outline' option and 'bold'. This gives me a clear outline to draw round. When I print the name, I use the 'Mirror' function on my printer, so the name is printed in reverse all ready to draw (without holding it up to the window, lol). The font size is usually 200+ depending on how big I want it and I usually have the paper orientation in 'Landscape'. Good luck!
This one is in upper case, but you could do lower, or a mixture. |

Well, you are a wonderful "computer-enabled geekette"! I got all the way to "format options" looking for the outline option and can't find that in MS Word. It's the only program I know a little about. I'm hoping that's where the font "outline" change is located. Heaven help me if you say go to PowerPoint or somewhere else! Can you give me further directions please?

I have gotten several sets of letters from the DOLLAR TREE....one dollar and have a cardboard collection for future use over and over

do you know anyone who has a brother cut and go machine? It has built in fonts in many sizes.
|
do you know of any one with a Brother Scan-N-Cut? i have just bought one and first on my list was to cut the alphabet for a I spy quilt, was delighted how easy this was done

Thanks alikigirl for that link. I am in the process of making a santa sack and needed letters for my granddaughter's name.

Go to Bobby Socks Quilt Co. They have a lot of embroidery stuff but if you enter applique in search bar I believe you will find what you are looking for. Hope this helps.
