at a time and put them on my memory stick to move to the machine, that I have now way to use those gorgeous fonts. That seems like a LOT of work for results that will be less than excellent unless I WANT them to look wonky. Anyway, do I need a special program to use those letters, or is there a technique that I'm missing along the way? I am completely self taught from reading articles, watching videos or trial/error. Being able to add lettering to my projects would open up a whole new world to me with the emb. machine. Thank you for your time and patience!!!
If you do - you can bring your fonts - one at a time into the editing feature and combine them into one design and save that and then download it on your USB and your machine.
I'm afraid it will be the hooping hell to get those single desings lined up... even "Eva" was difficult ;-)
So I decided for a powerful software program named Embird, which allows you to merge and line up embroidery files on the computer before sending it to the machine, you create a single new file with your combined letters (or other) embroidery files.
You will love it. It is affordable, they offer a free trial and you can add some more modules, one I like best (beside the very useful Iconizer) is "Font Engine", which creates embroidery files from computer fonts. (Not all are looking good when ready, you will have to experiment). There are other brands of software available which can do the same, but Embrid really is comfortable and has good material for self-study (and does much more than just merging files).
