How to use them

Namskout AGS

Namskout AGS is an appliqué font:

  • First color (red) is a placement stitch
  • Add your fabric to cover the placement stitch
  • Second color (green) is a tack down
  • Cut the excess of fabric after stitching the second color
  • Third color (black) stitches the satin columns

Namskout Relief

As is, Namskout Relief is to be used this way :

  • hoop some lining fabric
  • embroider the first color (red). It is a positioning running stitch which indicates where to place the foam to obtain a relief effect.
  • place the foam on top and then embroider the second color (green): this triple stitch will cut out the foam.
  • remove excess foam and install the “final” fabric.
  • embroider the last color (blue): A quintuple stitch is embroidered around the letters.

If you embroider several letters, it is possible to color sort. Here is a way to do it

If you remove the stroke color from the green paths and replace it with a fill color, you can also use the font in the following way:

  • hoop the final fabric with the stabilizer.
  • embroider the fill stitches(for example a tartan filling or a linear gradient filling).
  • tape the foam to the back of the stabilizer.
  • embroider the second color (red): this triple stitch will cut the foam.
  • remove excess foam and place a liner under the foam.
  • embroider the last color (blue): A quintuple stitch is embroidered around the letters, sandwiching the foam between the lining and the final fabric.

More details (in French) on using this font can be found here.

Namskout Tartan

Namskout Tartan is a tartan font. Each letter has its own tartan, therefore embroidering it as is is not for the faint of heart ! Quite a few threads changes are required. However for a less work intense (but also less colorful) variation with only one tartan shared by all leters, see this
