font for each of the cushions. I have been using the fonts in my (PE Design) softwear/computer. I am not happy with the sew out that I did lastnight. Any advice will be very greatfully accepted. Thanks Cuties

It would depend on the size and the fabric you are stitching it onto.
I always like to do a test stitch if it is a fonts I have not used.

Thanks, yes I always carry out a test stitch too but am aware that some fonts sew better than others

Hi there..
I always think for a nice clear font use a
columm stitch or satin stitch..
To me this always looks like a professional finish.
I do like a nice script for wedding cushions
but I always check the whole alpha first
as sometimes I dont like the 'o' as it looks like an a.. and the t can often look more like an f.

Letters that don't look like the right letter is one of my pet peeves!
I agree!
Thanks all of you. I agree with sewmom about letters not looking right

One of the things that is very important, is density. If your font is small reduce the density by quite a bit...I have PE design (version 3)and Embird font engine. I prefer Font engine..they just seem to sew out better. Perhaps because I can adjust the density more precisely. For small .25 in or smaller I use column or satin stitches, for larger writting I use a fill stitch.

A test stitch never steers you wrong. Computer software just can't make all the adjustments for fabric, stabilizer, thread condition and me. It also hekps me adjust for color shades.

Good advice; *4 all!
Sometimes when using Wilcom, I can see little irregularities in fonts that are not obvious otherwise.

I find that with a lot of my PE Design fonts I need to reduce the tension on my machine a little bit so the bobbin thread does not come through. I also found that the first 35 alphas seem to do better that the rest of them but a test stitch is vital for all of them!
