Online font/monogram shop

I have been searching for a Celtic knot font to make monograms in kilts. No luck with that so far (anyone have any links to share?), but I did find this online shop which has some very nice alphabets and monograms:

just order three, I'll report back after I stitch out some samples.



NAYY,


Do you have software that can use computer fonts? If so, there are many celtic knot fonts available, many of them free. This is the result of a Google Images search - you can get to them with other searches, too.

"Celtic Knot Fonts" generally means either a text font with letters that include such patterns, or not-text "dingbat" fonts that have borders and lines and ornaments created as celtic knots.

I bought Embird Font engine add-in, but I'm not thrilled with it so far.

What I'm looking for is upper case initials with Celtic knots in the background, or letters incorporating Celtic knots. I thought I had located one in a search, someone posted pictured of a project using a "Martha Pullen(?)" design, but now I cannot even locate that image, and nothing on Pullen's site is similar.. :-(

I couldn't make that work. I searched for "Feijoa\Feijoa-Bold" and still didn't see what you were sharing. What I did see was a nice serif font, but nothing Celtic about it. ???

Yes, similar to :

I will try the Embird Font engine on that one to see what happens, but I'm not optimistic. I could just create the monogram text, scan it and save as a jpeg, then digitize it myself. I was hoping someone had already done all that for an entire alphabet.

I may just give up and use some nice monograms I purchased,

Woo hoo! Another search just yielded:

what I had in mind. I was going to buy the 5 individual letters I need for two kilts, but the whole set was just a few $s more. Yay!

OOPS! I pasted the wrong link. Won't do any good unless you have either an embroidery program such as Artista or PEDesign that can use computer fonts directly, or Viking/Pfaff's font-to-design generator (I forget whether it's 3DFontDigitizing or 3DQuickFont. Viking has W-a-a-y too many separate pieces.

My PSW2.0a software for the Singer Quanmtum XL6000 makes a valeint 9but unsuccssful;) attempt to work on TT fonts. The Embird Font Engine is a little better, but not wonderful.

Nope, neither of those. :-}

Nice site, thanks! I love many of the Celtic knot designs there. I have digitized a few Celtic knots in the past, they are hard to do because of all the "overs and unders".

However, I found a pre-digitized font package, I'll probably use that. I also bought three different monogram sets, so I think I'll make up several virtual images for my son-in-law and grandson and let them decide which they want in their kilts. I'm closing in on finishing the one for my son-in-law, and my grandson wants to wear his at his college graduation in May. I intend to put their monograms or initials green-on-green in the lining.

Thanks again for your assistance, Herb.
