I am trying to add names to Shirlene's little stockings. The space is 100mm. I do have a bit of lettering software that I got with my Bernina machine, i.e. London, Anniversary, Swiss Block and Script. I try to make the names smaller, to fit in, but it just doesn't look good! There is an option of "satin/step" and automatic/manual that one can select. Looking at previous photos of these other people's names look so good! How do I do this? Thanks for your time in helping me out!

I don't have a Bernina or the software that goes with it. Would you like satin stitch or rather cross stitch? I'm doing mine with the latter.

Thank you Cuties for being willing to help me. Martine came to my rescue! Have a great day - it is almost 16:00 here and we are once again hoping and praying for rain - VERY needed in dry Botswana!

isn't there the possibility of adding letters in small size in your machine?

Yes there is, but with the lower case letters like the k and l, the other letters like a,m,s, have to be even smaller to all fit into 1 cm height. Thanks for your interest!
