Oh sorry im being picky aren't i lol

I noticed some of the lowercase letters are weird, maybe use all uppercase?? We'll see what Keiss creates

We could maybe use the capital ones within the 'word' squares???

OH BUM it'll be too high, soz missed that bit........... tho I think i may change the letters on my charlies ark just so i can use it

Just an idea - does anyone have any cross stitch programs that allow you to type in a "caption" eg name and town. Load it up into pdf and email it to people?

Found this online but it may mean making the border a wee bit bigger as it says the biggest letter can be 8 stitches high. I used the monaco font. I used the 2 space between words and dash. Will this be any good - save drawing it out - I have tried editing this page it still leaves a big gap at end. Also don't know why it is leaving a dot in the J.
