Hi Everyone!!  As I continue my Video Series on learning to sewing featuring the Singer Quantum Stylist 9960, it’s time to show you the built in alphabets and letter stitching options.
Personalized items are very popular at the moment and this machine has the capability of producing professional looking results.  There are 5 built in alphabets to choose from that include upper and lower case letters, numbers, punctuation marks and characters that are used for other languages.  Below I’ve stitched out each of the 4 English letter fonts so you can see what the upper and lower case letters and numbers look like when stitched out.  Each upper case letter is about 3/8″ high and each lower case letter is about 1/4″ high.  All the numbers are about 3/8″ high.  The letters are numbers are all preset in the machine and are not able to be resized.

Gothic letter stitch

Script letter stitch

                                                                                          

Italic letter stitch

                                                    

Outline letter stitch

                                                   The last built in letter stitching option is the Russian letter font.  I didn’t do a demo stitch out of that font because it wasn’t an alphabet that I found to be something I would use.

The machine has the memory capability of storing 60 characters at a time for stitching a name, date, phrase or anything your choose.  The potential is unlimited when adding any of the decorative stitch motifs as I did in the video.  I find it helpful to actually stitch out a demo on the live video so you can see how to insert your fabric into the machine, exactly how the letters stitch out, and what the machine will look like and sound like while it’s stitching.
 
I hope you find this video helpful if you’re interested in exploring your machines letter stitch and decorative motif options.  Be brave and try out decorative patterns and threads.  With the Holiday’s right around the corner, imagine how nice it would be to personalize gifts this year for your friends and family.
 
Thanks for all the emails, messages and comments you continuously send.  I appreciate all of you that follow, subscribe and “like” my efforts!!
UPDATE:  I added a Picture Tutorial:  Decorative Stitching Holiday Project to compliment the information in this video.
