Lisa wanted something whimsical, so she used the fun Yippee font from Merrowly Patches, but you can use any installed BX font from your list! The text below the design was created with a default single line. The Radius Slider under the font pulldown menu allows you to adjust the curvature of the lettering so it fits just right. To add arched text above the design, create a lettering object and click the Circle icon in the ‘Letters’ panel that appears when your it is selected. Luckily, it’s easy to add text as seen in her project by using the powerful text options in Essentials! In the project download below, you’ll find her gnome design on its own, ready for you to customize and add your own holiday message.
Her latest project includes a cute gnome design she digitized in Stitc hArtist Level 3, and we’re happy to share her creation with you. It may not shape up to be a white Christmas, but she’s still creating holiday cheer with embroidery. The sounds of holiday stitching are filling the cold Colorado air around the house of our friend Lisa Shaw of Bubbles’ Menagerie.
