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.

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
