Lettering question, please

[Anne Howell]

I have a reguest for 10" letters in a circle on cotton fabric. I found the 3 letter circle but cannot figure out how to get in to transfer to my Design shop page. It stated the # to click on but I can't get it to work. HELP, Please

Ctrl+T will select the alphabet option. Then click on your blank Design Shop page and then hit enter. You'll get the properties box for text entry. So then you put in the letters you want followed by any numbers you might need to add a specific border. In the drop down for font, select the 3 Letter Circle. Adjust the height in the field just below the font menu. Then "OK" at the bottom of the properties box and the design should appear for you.

And if you've already done all that and are still confused, I'm no help at all.

Will try that, thanks so much.

I tried what you said but I ran into another problem. She wants curly font. Is it possible to have a circle with curly? When I change fron curly to circle it deletes my font.
Thanks in advance.

3 Letter Circle is one font. It supports only three letters and is designed for monogramming.

Curly is another font and (I think) supports more than 3 letters at a time. Are you doing more than three letters or are you trying to do a monogram? I don't know of a way to manipulate a standard keyboard font into a round presentation like the monogram fonts give you. You could put on a round border from the Melco Borders font but that's still not going to make the letters round, it will just put them inside a circle.

You can try using the perspective Envelope setting in the lettering attributes box.

This will allow you to add curved points to the upper and lower borders and then play around withthe figure handles and points and curve control handles till you get what you want.

I was able to make a 3 letter circle monogram in curly font in a few min.

Hope this helps

I am trying to do 3 letters that are shaped like a circle. She did not want a border or circle around it.
I tried the envelope and I couldn't get the sides to be rounded, but I might have given up too soon.
I saw in my cd's that a bridged option would let you do it but it is no longer in the new software listing.
Thanks for your input. I went to a friends and did it on her Wizard plus.

As I said I was able to Make 3 letters into a circular design ABC
the A being small on the left getting bigger to the right the B getting bigger from left to center and then smaller center to right and the C being Biger on the left getting smaller in the right. all three together forming a circle.

It was quite easy.

If you want tell me what letters you need I will send you a design.

I appreciate your help very much, but my friend did it on her software.
