Letters, numbers and symbols in the pack
Pick a glyph to see its measurements in each native size.
Glyph names come from the file names and have been checked visually. Each drawing is a digital view of that glyph's file in the chosen size, drawn to a common scale for the size; it is not a photo of the stitching.

Native sizes and real measurements
The size is the label in the file names. Each glyph has its own measurements: «1 Inch» does not mean every glyph is 25.4 mm.

Machine time
Multi-needle machine: about 1 min
A range, not a promise: stitches ÷ effective speed, plus one pause per colour change. Adjust it to your machine.
Adjust speed and pauses
Multi-needle machine: Effective speed (spm) 700–950 · Pause per colour change (s) 3
Hooping, stabilizer and threading are not included (typically 5–15 min). Nominal speeds from manufacturer specifications (e.g. Janome MC500E 400–860 spm). Effective speed is lower.
Before you start & guidance for your fabric
- Load the file for this size and check the machine reads the right format.
- Choose a hoop the design fits in with margin; do not scale the design to force it.
- Prepare the threads in the order below; some colours come back later in the sequence.
- Hoop fabric and stabilizer together, flat and without stretching.
- Use a fresh embroidery needle; stitch a test on a scrap of the same fabric if in doubt.
Guidance for your fabric
The heavier the fabric and the denser the design, the heavier the stabilizer. Cut-away is the safer choice for knits and high stitch counts; tear-away suits stable wovens.
Needle: an embroidery needle (75/11 or 90/14) with rayon or polyester embroidery thread; a metallic needle for metallic threads. Size depends on thread and fabric, not on the stitch count.
General guidance from stabilizer and needle manufacturers' guides (OESD, Sulky, Madeira, SCHMETZ). It does not replace a test on your own fabric. No tension values are given: they depend on your machine.

What is verified and what is an estimate
- Size, stitch count, stitching order and stitches per block are read from the embroidery file you download.
- Colours are read from the file when it carries them; otherwise they come from a machine palette and are marked as such.
- Machine time, hoop and fabric guidance are estimates or general rules with their assumptions shown.

About this design
Melvin Eustace Font Embroidery Design: a full alphabet for names, monograms and short phrases. The letters are built to join without the finishing stitches overlapping.

Before you stitch
Stitch lettering last if you are combining it with a motif: that way any hooping shift shows up in the artwork, not in the name.
