Questions
- What does the keepsake pattern maker make?
- A printable pattern for a round hoop: a wreath or a spray of flowers, lines of words in block capitals, and small pictures such as a bow, a heart or a star. The file has three pages: what you need, with the floss list and which stitch goes where; the pattern at its true size; and the same pattern mirrored for an iron-on transfer pen.
- What happens when a line is long?
- The capitals are never smaller than a little under half an inch tall. A line too long for its place is set on two lines, then in a larger hoop, and the page says so when the hoop changes; a line that fits no hoop is named under its box, for you to shorten.
- Which hoop sizes can I choose?
- Each kind is made for the hoops that hold its words: the wedding keepsake for hoops of 6 and 8 inches, the baby keepsake for hoops of 6 and 8 inches and the word or name for hoops of 5, 6 and 8 inches. The pattern keeps the design half an inch inside the hoop all around. Hoop sizes for hand embroidery
- How do I get the pattern onto fabric?
- The file holds the pattern at its true size for tracing, and the same pattern mirrored for an iron-on transfer pen. How to transfer an embroidery pattern
- Which letters and marks can I type?
- Capitals A to Z, numerals 0 to 9 and 9 marks: a full stop, a middle dot, a colon, a comma, an apostrophe, a hyphen, a slash, an ampersand and a heart. Small letters are set as capitals, and the curled apostrophe, the long dash and the heart of a phone keyboard are read as the plain marks. A character the alphabet does not have, such as an accented letter, is named beside the box for you to respell.
