Use Import Font From Embroideries 
to import individual embroidered letters to create a font. Browse to individual letters, or drag them from the Finder.
Note: For best results, remove any stray stitches in mySewnet™ Stitch Editor before importing the letters.
As the imported letters are stitch files, rather than fully adjustable design files, they work best at their original size, with the minimum of reshaping.
Note: Imported fonts work best with the Line, Vertical Block and Horizontal Block lettering shapes.

Note: This name is unique. An error message is displayed if an existing name is used.
Size
The size of the font. This is taken from the size of the Upper Case ’A’, which is the first letter in the font to be created.
