1.
In a word document, select the letters for the
changes needed to spell out the new inscription.
2.
Decide upon the font style and font size of
these letters.
3.
Change the font color from black to a grey to
save ink before printing out the page(s).
4.
Trace around each letter with a permanent
marker, ensuring that the ink is showing on the back side of the page.
5.
Using the back side of the page as your template,
now trace out the new letters onto the fusible web paper.
If you can’t find the same font used in the pattern; then
choose another font. The best fonts to use are ones that have rounded edges. The
larger the letters, the easier it’ll be to stitch around the edges.
TIP:
To figure out the best size for the new font -- type several letters: of
those used in the pattern and the new font you will be using, to determine if
the size is similar.
The following word looks rather strange; however, to show
you how different fonts behave; you’ll wish to use letters that will fit nicely
into the space they are to be placed. The word: QUILT, is done with five
different fonts – Impress BT, Cooper Black, Onyx, Adobe Arabic, and Forte all
in the same size of 60.
