    Here are some of the applique letters that I like.

    I didn't really want to use block letters. If I knew the name of these fonts or where to start with that would be great. I just don't even know where to begin on this quest. Free-hand drawing these would give me a migraine and I would be way to critical of myself. The reason I want these on my computer is so that I can size them as big or small as I need for a given project.

    I usually search "free alphabets" and find all sorts of fonts. Free colouring pages may have them too. I just find the font I like and if it isn't the right size, I use the printer to re-size it.

    As mentioned before I use Word, or any other program where you type your letters from. There is a place to choose the Font style with a picture of what it looks like and then choose the size. Sometimes the numbers only go up to 72 but you can type any number you want into that. Just print out one or two letters per sheet of paper. Tape them to the window & trace them backwards for fusible. I've looked at my printer & can't see how to mirror the image, as another member suggested. Have fun! Also some programs you may already have on your computer do have some funky lettering.

    You don't need to mirror image cut out and place on fabric back to front, sometimes cheap kid's colouring books have alphabetsvin them you could copy.

    I use Word and Mistyfuse. Don't have to reverse the lettering! Also, save yourself some ink when you print it out and use the "outline" option when doing your words. It will just outline the words, leaving the inside blank.

    You can use the "italic" too. I vote fonts on the PC.
