When you are in a hurry and you find the right font and it sews wonderful, I love them. If I have multiple rows of lettering and it is a nice standard font, heaven! I probably have a half a dozen fonts I use regularly but I think because I am old school and fairly efficient at digitizing I find if I have to search too long to find the right one I might as well digitize it, especially if it’s just a couple of words.

When I am in a hurry and can't find the right font or don't like the way they sew, AGHHHHH! Sometimes I spend more time looking for the font than if I had just gone ahead and digitized. When I use the help menu and check out the families of fonts that certainly saves me time. I have sometimes thought it is quicker to choose a font that is close to what I need and edit it to match the artwork but found out it took me longer than if I had digitized it. I hate when I start editing a font and then realize it’s taking too long and I have a catch 22, where to go ahead and continue editing an existing font might be faster than starting over, or not. Sigh, I guess that’s all part of business. You win some, you lose some.
