Emb on 5/8 inch ribbon for tags. I used tear-a-way,scrap piece, floated underneath. The font was Apex Emb, Chicago font, size 3/4 inch REDUCED. They are both the same,but took a photo with ink pen so you could judge size. I am not sure if I like my Gram, it looks like it has a 'u' in it. What do you think ? Thursday 07-24-14 I redid the Gram by over-riding the tail of the a. I have not stitched it, but what do you think now. I think it does look a lot better.

I think I would change the Gram to a font with a better a. Other than that, Great job!

Maybe... but don't you think if I move the m to override the a's tail...I am going to try now.I will let you know, if I think it looks better, and then you tell me what you think.

I like them. I have been wanting to try this but hadn't. I will be now that I see yours.

The key to me is finding the right font and right size. Also hoop your ribbon tight.

didn't see the U until I read your comment. I think it looks great - I like Apex designs also. I think moving the m over might take care of it. The Toogie looks darling - very nice font.

Thanks I will redo Gram before I stitch again.

Well done Toogie and I'm afraid that would irritate me as I see the long tail of the a in it. If it was me I would try another font to see what it looks like. Other than that good work on embroidering on the tape. Love Chris

Thanks Chris-read my comment to Karen. I do like this font and it resizes well. Thanks for looking-T

I like them both. I can see though where the 'a' joins it can look like a 'u'.

I like Toogie but I think I need to move the 'm', where the straight line begins the letter, more on top of the 'a's tail, and it would look better. I just felt funny about putting Toogie on my own g-d's toy, she needed Gram !

Looks very good! Nice work!

When I looked at it I only saw Gram, did not see the uformed with the tail of the a 'till you mentioned it. Still think it looks good/Lillian

Very nice Toogie! I thought it said Gram till you said it looked like it had a u so then I saw that too. I've not tried this yet, but it's on my bucket list.

It's not hard to do, but hoop your ribbon tight... It must be like an optical illusion,lol, look once it's Gram, look twice and I am Groum-lol

Looks great! I was trying to do some embroidery on ribbon but it's wasn't coming out. Think I needed a better font!

I like Apex fonts. They haven't dissapointed me yet. I think this one came in 4 sizes and it was a freebie.

Thanks, I'll check them out.

well maybe a bit of space would make it more clear? Toogie shows up perfectly! ~hugs~

I really didn't want to leave a gap inbetween the a and the m, but I didn't waste it. I do think however, I will stick to the Toogie, it looks good I think.Thanks-T

yep, not the best M I've seen. Perhaps you could become a Granny like me!!

Well 20 some odd years ago I started as Grammamma, but now it is just Gram.

I agree with you. I saw the picture and didn't know what it said until I read what you wrote. I think I would choose another font. I do think it is a really good idea. Years ago I did the same thing with the last name of a couple that were getting married. I made a set of napkins to use with their china and tied them in a bundle with the ribbon.
