I created a dingbat font from scratch!!! Permit me to be a boring boasty-boaster pants for a moment please as I'm seriously chuffed with my wee self!
I'm a HUGE fan of the blog Clever Someday and found Kay's Border Bits font really changed how I used Silhouette Studio. It allows you to curve cicles, hearts and more snazzy shapes such as fleur-de-lis around any Silhouette Studio shape. This is not normally possible, but because it is a font, you can use the text-to-path functionality. This frees you to to do way more with your own designs and I use it alot.
So, when making fabric appliques with HTV edging for my niece Emily, I thought it would be nice if I could do embroidery style edging. I looked around but couldn't find anything, so with another tutorial from Kay, I took the plunge and made one myself. I'm such a geek, I stayed up through the night one Friday to make it, I'm so rock and roll haha!
Here's my Silhouette UK blog post which has a free link to download and it shows you hints and tips for using. Next week, I'll have another blog post which will show how to use it with htv to make some baby rompers.
