Here is a great resource on some pretty embroidery fonts – The Embroidery Font Shop. All of them would make great appliques. Each font category has unique characteristics and should be used appropriately for the right person and dress. For example, the Aristocrat font denotes classiness while the Funky font is more casual. The Flirty font is best for teens, whilst the Monster font is the kids favourite. There are some good wedding fonts like Silverbell, Charming or Edwardian which you could use for special invites.
All fonts come in small, medium and large sizes with 26 letters. If the font style is such that the size varies depending on whether it is at the center or right/left position, then you would have both the size options. The embroidery fonts come in Jef, art, pcs, pcd, xxx, exp, csd, pec, pes, sew, hus, dst, vip formats (the information on machine embroidery would come in handy here).

Some of them are quite unique like Tinkertoy, Antique, Skittles. A good auto digitizing software for embroidery fonts is Singer Hyper Font – Font Auto Digitizing Software. The hyper font software easily converts any Windows True Type (R) font into embroidery embellishments.

Happy Embroidery Fonting!

I found these designs strikingly similar to the iron-on appliques that we had posted in the month of May. Apart from the two hand impressions which were really cute, I took a fancy to the pattern you see next to this post. What I liked best is that all the 6 items which includes the tree, cloud, sun, chair, sea and umbrella were well fitted into one small applique in a beautiful manner.

These embroideries could be stitched or used as iron-on’s on frocks, handbags or T-shirts.

Cute appliques are the ones to look for and we have got a great resource for you – Joann.com – Search for “appliques” in the search box. You would find a large categorised variety of applique embroidery designs, where you can click on “Iron-Ons and Appliques”. This is not a normal applique which you stitch onto the master cloth. In iron-ons, there is an adhesive on the back of each of the applique patterns and the method is to iron the ready-made design onto the desired apparel. The heat produced firmly adheres the applique pattern at the desired place. Apart from women and children apparel, the other places that these can be pasted onto are notebooks, backpacks and lampshades! Embroidery designs do touch various spheres of our everyday life.

All the iron-on’s displayed at Joann’s are low priced sewing embroidery designs and the information on embroidery machines would come in handy here.
