AlphabetsAlphabets are manually pre-digitized embroidery fonts. There are many adjustable lettering parameters such as size, density, underlay type as well as characters layout and deformations. When finished, lettering is compiled into stitches and put into Embird Editor for final adjustment and save in desired embroidery format. Alphabets are accessible also from Studio's interactive lettering. When used from Studio, Alphabets produce text in a vector (outline) form that can be further edited in Studio.
Alphabets are optional plug-in modules for Embird software.
Price of alphabets is not included in the Embird registration fee.
