This isn’t the final layout of the quilt, but you get the idea of how I’m using the embroidery fonts for the project. Even more options with Husqvarna Quick Font While there are four built-in fonts on the Designer Ruby Royale, there are scads of fonts to choose from if you happen to have the Husqvarna Quick Font software, which is free. It has the ability to use most TrueType and OpenType fonts in the embroidery process. Oh dear – looks like I’m going to crack that software package open. My heart is racing thinking of all the possibilities. The Husqvarna Viking Designer Ruby Royale has so many options with the built-in editing functions that we talked about yesterday. All we need is to let our imagination and creativity go wild.
