Hi, I'm attempting to design a text only pattern. My problem is that I would like to be able to manipulate the text to squish it and make it narrower, or stretch it to make it wider. I'm trying to make something similar to a subway sign. here's an example I made:

I can't seem to figure out how to manipulate the appearance of the text using the text tool, so I tried to do things another way. I imported that exact image. The problem with that is that when I imported it, it showed 30+ colors to make up the image. I just need it in 1. so can anyone tell me a) how to manipulate the text in PCStitch or 2) how to import an image and keep it at one color?

thank you for the suggestion, but I've tried that and unfortunately, it warps the letters too much, making them somewhat unreadable.
