Types of Lettering

The Embrilliance platform supports two types of lettering:

1.) Built-in Fonts

2.) Stitch file collections (Imported Fonts)

The built-in fonts are based on our software, and offer many features, and are available in purchased products, such as Essentials or Font Collections.

Stitch File collections are those brought in as a .BX file which installs a font from an outside digitizing source, such as a font provider on the internet. Stitch File fonts also can be created using our AlphaTricks product. When using a stitch-file font, your ability to re-size it will depend on what products you have licensed. AlphaTricks and Essentials will both let you re-size the fonts and recalculate their stitches, whereas the free Express Mode will not.

This manual section will present the basics of manipulating lettering, which works nearly identical regardless of which font type you are using.
