I'm trying to create my own font based on one I found on Pinterest. When I drew it out I started every letter in the bottom left corner of each block, but when I saved the file it pushed some of the letters over one space and duplicated the stitches, but left some letters as is. In this pic https://i.imgur.com/ss7zFog.png check out the O, S, and U.

Was I supposed to center my letters in the box, and why did it move some over but not all? I did read the manual and did the tutorial but neither explains it very well.

Angelle,

This is one case where I have to plead total ignorance. I've never tried to create a stitched font and don't know anything about them.

All I can suggest is you edit the font you created and look carefully at what you did with both kinds of letters (shifted and not) and maybe play with one of one type to see if it will switch to the other kind.

You can also check with Mark and see if he has any explanation.

I'm sorry but I just don't know!

I tried to email Mark through this site, and I got the error that I'm not allowed to do that (I'm too new here)
