Features: Text
The Text features in PCStitch are awesome! You can enter letters, words, or phrases to your
own creations as easily as typing on your keyboard. New in version 9, Text is now dropped
into your patterns as an object. This means you can re-select it and modify it at any time. Change
the size, color or even the font!
Here are two different ways to add letters and words in your patterns:
|
Method 1: TrueType Fonts:
|
|
Any TrueType font installed on your computer can be used to add words and phrases to
your designs. TrueType fonts are the same fonts you use in applications such
as Microsoft Word. Simply select the font you want to use, and
the height of each letter. Select the area where you want to insert your letters
and start typing. PCStitch converts your keystrokes into stitched
letters.
Using True Type Text Included in both:

PCStitch Pro

Method 2: Stitched Fonts:
|
|
Stitched Fonts are alphabets that are created specifically for
cross-stitch. Each letter in a stitched font is designed using
any of the available stitch types. You can even use different colored
floss or beads. These alphabets can be simply backstitch letters, or
extravagant letters using all the features of PCStitch. Using Stitched
Fonts in future patterns is as simple as picking your starting position,
then keying letters on your keyboard.
Using Stitched Fonts Included in both:
