Thank you so much for providing these! As a beginning cross stitcher, I found it tricky to find such a large variety in one easily convertible format. Thank you so much!
Trying to print a few of the fonts, but even in landscape view, part of the alphabet is cut off. How do I copy and print the part that is cut off?
Hey Ann,
This is something to do with your printer settings I’m afraid. You need to look for the option called “stretch to fit” or “scale to fit”. This will stop parts being cut off and print the whole alphabet on one page.
Hope that helps!
Thank you!
These are beautiful! Thank you for the inspiration 🙂
Thank you for these. One can never have too many alphabets on file for future projects! Do you know of patternmakercharts? They have heaps of vintage (early C20th or thereabouts) charts available to download. Some are wonderfully over the top.
Elaine, thank you so much for the information! Much appreciated. Patti
