Hi All!
I just got a Brother Innvois 1200- yesterday! Yea! It has 6 built-in fonts, but none are cutsy for preschoolers. I've seen some to download that I like (embroiderydesigns.com). Has anyone ever used them? I can't get the free software to download (efp- Embroidery Fonts Plus). It seems there is a typo in the file name (it has a coma) that maybe interfering with the process.

Is there another website you recommend? Where do you get your fonts? What software do you use to combine 3 letters into a monogram?
Thank you for your help!

I use Embird (www.embird.com) and you can purchase fonts from their website that work within their program. I like these because they digitize all the letters together so if you type in a name it will digitize the name as one file as opposed to having to line up each letter in a row perfectly even by sight.

If you don't want to purchase Embird, you can buy all sorts of embroidery fonts here: http://www.embroideryfontshop.com/
There are several at that site that would be ideal for monograms, and tons of cute other fonts.
