Cursive and script fonts give embroidered text a graceful, personal look — perfect for names, quotes, and wedding pieces. The connected strokes that make script beautiful also need a little care so they stitch cleanly.
Choosing a Script Font
SewFlow includes script fonts designed to read well in thread. Pick one with consistent stroke width — very thin connecting strokes can break up at small sizes, while balanced scripts stitch smoothly.
Sizing Cursive Text
- •Go larger than you would with block text — script needs room for its loops and tails.
- •Aim for at least 20–25 mm tall for single words.
- •Keep strokes thick enough to become satin stitches rather than thin running lines.

Script Font Tip
Cursive letterforms have connecting strokes that crowd at small sizes. When in doubt, size up — script almost always looks better a little larger.
