Of course, I'd love to - so she sent me the fabric and the font ...
Although I usually tinker with the computer generated font, this one as too detailed for the machine even to have a go!
I can sort of trace over an image to create a design from scratch, so I had a go with the C (above) and it looked reasonable on the screen
And it stitched OK, but this took about half an hours concentrated work for a 0.75" high design that still isn't as detailed as the original!
Fiona is going to find me another font to try!!!
I then consoled myself by creating a totally unnecessary design that luckily stitched out fine!
And I just thought I'd share the padded trinket boxes made by the Chertsey Museum Ladies (full pic are here )
They also brought back their finished jewellery pouches
And Kaye brought a Mariner's Compass - her first, isn't it stunning!
My goodness that font is far too much! I hope she finds something more legible.
ReplyDeleteThe mind boggles slightly how you would even draw the first font (so kudos to the designer!) but good luck with option #2. Love the wee singer :o)
ReplyDeleteI love the machine! The font looks very elaborate and well done to Kaye it is fab!
ReplyDeleteThank lettering is amazing! I hope she can something equally beautiful but more machine friendly :)
ReplyDeletegood lord!! They are a bit much!! hope it gets sorted out!! .. well done for trying though xi
ReplyDeletefingers crossed you get an easier and quicker font to stitch. Little trinket boxes look cute, might just have to have a go at one and the jewellery pouches are delightful. Must not forget the mini quilt, also very nice
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you told us it was a C, I had no idea! Hope font number two is better for you!
ReplyDeleteDid you create that sewing machine design? It is awesome.
