Each design has its own motif and border arrangement. Open a design to change its lettering and colors.

Plan the cloth before you stitch

Start near the center and work one motif at a time. Empty cells are unstitched cloth. The alphabet band is included as a small lettering reference, with your chosen words below.

The preview updates with every letter. Check the dimensions after changing the name: chart width grows to keep every character. Use the fabric calculator for other counts and finishing margins.

Make it, print it, keep your place

  1. Replace the sample name and date, then choose an accent thread.

Can I use a longer name or different alphabet?

The original monoline alphabet supports the characters shown above. For accented letters and other font styles, open the editor and use its free text tool. Check the fit before printing.
