== Introduction == Lettering is probably the most popular stitching activity for beginning home users. As of Spring 2019, Ink/Stich does include a simple digitized font available under '''lettering''' in the Ink/Stich menu. Most embroidery machines do include some lettering facilities and all serious embroidery packages include a lettering module. As of Spring 2019, there is only one included lettering font, but that should change in the future. In addition, InkStitch allows - like a professional embroidery program - creating letters from SVG fonts. See the next two articles, i.e. [[InkStitch - design letters]] and [[InkStitch - Geneva-simple typefaces]] See also the [[InkStitch - embroidery patch]] tutorial. It explains how to create rounded text from either simple text with fills or from digitized fonts as described here. == The lettering module == For Ink/Stitch 1.25 (Mai 2019). Version 1.26 allows selecting from several fonts now and also transform the size (i.e. instructions below need some updating) === To create letters === * Menu Extensions -> Ink/Stitch -> Lettering * Type your text in the popup menu * Apply and Quit [[image:inkstitch-lettering-1b.png|none|800px|thumb|Lettering with Ink/Stitch 1.25]] You now can see a group of letters. Each letter is also a group. Open Menu Objects -> Objects to check this. === Adjusting letter size === By default, the letters produced are rather big, i.e. a capital letter is about 20mm high (font size 79pt bold). You can probably safely scale this down by 50%, e.g. use a letter size of 10mm. * Menu Object->Transform * Scale tab * Tick ''Scale proportionally'' * Scale to 50% [[image:inkstitch-lettering-2.png|none|600px|thumb|Reduce size of lettering with Ink/Stitch 1.25]] === Manipulate letters === Since the generated letters are just ordinary SVG objects with Ink/Stitch satin stitch annotations, you can do anything you like with these objects. E.g. manipulate individual letters by making them fatter or having them follow a curve. To do this, please have a look on the [[InkStitch - embroidery patch]] (section 4).
