I am so glad that you were able to get it to work!
Now you can go to sites like http://www.1001freefonts.com/ just go to google and type in free font and several sites will come up, you can search through THOUSANDS of fonts that can be used for MANY different things!! When I make a baby quilt I like to put the babies name on the front of the quilt and I always have to have "just the right font" to do so! The huge selection comes in handy sometimes!
after all the work you have done to get the font I can't wait to see the pillow!

Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with me, as is evident, there
would have been no way that I would have been able to figure it out in
a million years.
My teenage son, remarked that maybe it was time that I took a computer
class, he is tired of trying to answer MOM's questions.
After I saw the pillows, thought they would be great gifts for my great
nieces and nephews, to match the quilts that they were already given, to
possibly make a personalized pillow, or pillowcase to match. One less
gift to try to figure out for all of them.
I really do appreciate all that you have done. sewlady31

Now that I have the letters, my next dillema is how to follow up with the
setting it to outline and reverse to print out. Can you please help?
Sorry to be such a bother, had I been educated in the current age, then
I guess I would know all this, I guess that would date me, wouldn't it.
Our computers took up an entire room. Yikes!! :)

Sorry I did not reply to you last night it was about 330 here and I finally got the baby back to bed so it took the chance and went myself, only for about an hour then he wanted back up. UHH thank goodness he only does this about once a month!!!
Ok as for outlining.... I don't know how to print just the outline in wordpad, but what I do is just highlight the name, and change the color to a light gray. This saves ink and still gets it printed, and I can still see it to trace onto the fusible!
Printing in reverse....I don't know if you can do this with wordpad either but...here is what you can do, Or I should say this is what I do simply becasue I always FORGET to print in reverse! lol
Print it out the normal way so when you are looking at it you are reading it the right way, tape it to a window the the letters against the window it (or if you have a light box do the same thing) will now be "in reverse" on the inside. You can now use a piece of tape to tape the fusible over the paper and trace the letters. takes one more step but hey it gets the job done!
Sorry I couldn't be more help :(

Thanks for the insight, it will work out just perfect, I would have not have
thought of that. Now I can go ahead with my Christmas projects with all
your knowledge and help. Really appreciate it.
I work overnights, so am a night owl, the perfect time for uninterrupted
computer time, have to share with my family so don't always get a chance
to use the computer when they are home. I was really surprised to have
your response considering the time of day. Thanks again.
