Carolyn's Fun With Text tutorial shows you how to use your embroidery fonts as design elements.
Although this tutorial has been created using the Husqvarna Viking 4D embroidery extra software to supply the screenshots, the concepts that are covererd can be applied to any text with any embroidery software.
If your software has basic cut and paste tools, and you know how to use them, then you can create geometric designs from a single letter. You can create endless designs, border designs or even all over designs.
This is a tutorial for those who want to have some fun without the hassle of learning to digitize. Let your imagination loose on your fonts and be amazed by the great geometric and even floral designs that you can create.
Absolutely no experience necessary - a great tutorial for the computer challenged. If you "cut" and "paste" and occasionally flip, then this is for you.
No matter what your software you can take a single letter like an X and turn it into a design.
The designs below were all made from letters of the alphabet.
Seven Free designs are included with this tutorial (those pictured above + 3 more).
