Standard Alphabets
Standard Alphabets
The samples below show all alphabets included as standard with
your ES 9 software. For best results when stitching, do not exceed
the recommended maximum or minimum sizes. Recommended
maximum and minimum heights refer to UPPER CASE letters. Some
lower case letters — e.g. a and c — are about 70% the height of a
capital letter. Thus you may need to make these characters larger
than the recommended minimum.
Small, narrow letters may not require automatic underlay depending
on size and fabric. If applied, the underlay may show outside the
stitched columns.
The recommended stitch method for each alphabet is indicated. This
setting defines how letters in a sequence are to be joined — i.e.
Closest Join (CJ), Bottom Join (BJ), As Digitized (AD). Some As
Digitized alphabets also need to be applied with Original Values —
e.g. all appliqué alphabets, where values are important, and others
like Kidnap, where open stitching is used.
You can create special characters in each alphabet by holding down
the Alt key on your keyboard and typing 0 (zero), its code, using the
numbers on the keypad. For example, to type ê with the code 234,
type Alt + 0234. The accented letter will appear when you release the
Alt key.
Note Not all characters are available in all alphabets.
