Import Fonts From Embroidery – with Embroidery Software

Do you have purchased embroidery alphabets, downloaded monogram sets, or custom letter designs sitting in your files? This lesson shows you how to bring them directly into Creativate as fully functional fonts — then put them straight to work in a real project.

You'll use the Import Fonts From Embroidery tool to convert individual embroidered letters into a font that behaves exactly like the built-in lettering options in the Letter tab. Then you'll use that new font with the Project-in-the-Hoop Wizard to create a finished embroidered project — all in one lesson.

What Import Fonts From Embroidery Can Do

Once imported, your custom font works just like any built-in font in Creativate. You can:

• Type with it directly in the Letter tab
• Use it with Lettering shapes
• Resize, rotate, and edit as needed
• Save it permanently in your software font library

It's perfect for specialty alphabets, themed letter collections, monogram sets, and premium purchased fonts — anything where you want the flexibility of a typeable font rather than placing individual letter designs one at a time.
