Especially if you have something very specific in mind. Still, it’s not uncommon to find its default selection of fonts lacking. So Thanks to AM for the instructable.Inkscape is perhaps the best free, open-source vector image editing software available. I really look forward to using this particular technique to create machine embroidery pattern as the damn husqvarna viking diamond pro program is really complicated (for this curmudgeon anyhow) to use.

I don't know if you are still interested in this or if you worked it out, I am not very tech savy, being a plug and play kinda guy, and it was obvious from the answers that the author AM and Ysabeau were much more so than I.
