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.
