A month ago I got Palette version 10 - a BIG upgrade from my version 2 software! I've been having fun with different aspects of the software.
One of the fun things I've been playing with is the auto-digitizing of True Type Fonts.
Last night I was looking at some fonts and playing around with digitizing the A of some that appealed to me. Some of these are straight out of the software - while others had some work done to them.
Disney Cross Stitch I've digitized upper case, lower case and punctuation in this with 2.5 mm "X"s I like it so much, I'm working on digitizing 1.5 mm "X"s so also have a more dense version of this.
Applique Gold Panda Font Yesterday I posted about digitizing this font. This is what started me looking for more interesting fonts to digitize. I have finished all the letters, numbers and various punctuation, but haven't tested most of it. I love the versatility out of one design
Applique Academy Engraved. I liked the look of the partial applique alphabet, so was looking for more that would allow this (A fully applique letter can be a pain - as you have to cut out the insides)
I had a little problem with my starting thread appearing later on - but you get the idea.
SBC Curly Outline: I found this one - and figured it could be an applique. Once I digitized it, I realized that it would also work well as a filled font. Since the Capital A is kind of different, I decided to digitize the B instead. The outline satin stitch isn't very wide - so I needed to be a little bit better with the Applique version.
Scruff: While looking for fonts to applique, I kept seeing this font and I thought it would be fun and funky - so really wanted to see how well it digitized. I might just have to use this one sometime.
Fairytale: This one also looked interesting. I had some thread issues on the test stitchout - so the jury is out on this one.
AR Delaney: I tried digitizing this one as a fill or satin - wasn't happy with either - so I settled on a mixture of the two:
Highlight LET: Fairly simple, but I do like the result
Odessa: This one doesn't look like much - but does make for a simple, elegant font
Cerbature: I'm not so sure why I decided to try this one - maybe I was thinking it could lead to a filled font like I did with the SBC Curly one. It worked fine
Victorian: I like the way this one turned out.
Vivaldi: This font looked like it would digitize nicely - did not disappoint.
Pump Font: This one leads itself to lots of fun ideas for different fills, spiral stiches, etc. I tried the lower case a in 2 simple versions:
Sweetheart Love Letters: This is a relatively new font. To be able to give away or sell these letters, I would need to purchase a license.
Emily Spadoni is the creator and has a lot of very lovely fonts.
Thanks for checking out my latest projects. I would love any comments you have. Which fonts appeal to you and why? What sizes of letters do you like?
