![]() I have an older 12 Needke Happy machine, as well as 3 Desigber ones, and am not a business. I have also some Embrilliance software I have not yet been comfortable using, as I must be missing some methodology, as the design, and added lettering never translates into a good design so far. I am quite disgusted with them, and Viking is not deserving so much of my respect or loyalty, as once a new version comes out, until the last purchase of 5D extra, I decided to not purchase from them again. I have over the years bought many of the Viking Software, and unfortunately though quite pricey, I have 2 that I kept, 4D Extra and 5D Extra, both with additional modules, and both are acting awry, and no longer have “customer support”. In this example, I’ve used the Anyshape line and I have allotted different colors to the letters. The main point here is that the line of the baseline is consistent for every character created.Ĭonsider making your own fonts with symbols. These two clicks MUST BE ON THE BASELINE, which mayy or may not be at the bottom of the letter.Ĭonsider the lower case letters y and g where the tail of the letters is below the baseline. To do this make one left click at the bottom left of the letter and another exactly horizontally to the bottom right. There is one final step to create the letter, the prompt bar is asking for a reference line for the letter. Once the font has been created you can begin adding letters to the font set. If the letter height is 10 mm then 10% of height would be 1 mm, you may vary this setting based on the style of the font.įinally choose the default join type which typically would be closest join. The third box give the fonta a name and spacing value. This way the ends of the horizontal column will be hidden under the vertical columns.Īfter creating the shapes to make the letter select the objects and from the OBJECT MENU select Create a letter, the first dialog box gives you an opportunity to create a new Alphabet, insert the height of the capital letters in the font you are to create at “2”. When creating the shapes the conversion to a font will use the branching technology so digitize in the order you want the letter to appear. I prefer to use the Column A tool when creating the shapes but Column B will do just as well, not they are both coumn tools. 5 mm or roughly the stitch density setting. When I insert the guidelines I guestimate by eye but usually separate the two by about. Of course this is an art and not a science the amount of pull and push will be affected by the fabric the lettering is to be stitched on, so aim for a bood average. In the image below notice who the curves on the O and C are higher and lower than the ends of the H, it is anticipated that the C’s and O’s will pull in and the columns of the H will push out and if the adjustment is corrent then all should line up. Remember vertical strokes will push out to be longer than they appear on the screen when stitched and curves will pull in, so make adjustments to the shape to allow for this. Once you have your template letters on the work area insert guidelines where necessary to help you keep the lettering at constant level. These restrictions are particularly noticeable with serif fonts and some script styles. If the column width becomes too wide for a satin stitch when the letter is enlarged this would be a maximum size limitation. Some of the restrictions could be, if the letter height is too small then the column width will be so narrow to stitch, this would be a lower limitation. Bear this in mind when you are creating your font. I find it useful to adjust the size of the image to the preferred height of the font you are digitizing.Īll esa files can be resized in EmbrodieryStudio, once they have been created. ![]() This template could come from the next a screen capture of from a current TTF on your computer. ![]() Part of the digitizing process is to establish the baseline for each letter so it is important that you are accurate with this or you will find in the completed font the letters will not line up nicely. I suggest you put together the complete set of letters, numbers and punctuation that you require and have them on long common baseline. You will require a template to work from to create the shapes that will become the complete font. ![]()
