Excellent. I look forward to the next video.
Adri- I am so thankful that you have these instructions here... and I am hoping that your font will also work in other 'illustrator' programs. I run a linux based operating system and have Xara Xtreme as my vector graphics program.
Oh, I hope it works out for you! I know others have tried with success using Inkscape (another open source vector graphics program). Let me know how it goes. :)
Hi Adri! Just wondered, have you created this program as a CD Rom?
Nope. Adobe Illustrator is software from the Adobe corporation, and I just hold a license. As for the font shown here (StitchinCrochet), it's available via MyFonts.com. A new and improved selection of glyphs is also available via MyFonts.com here: http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/adriprints/stitchin-crochet-pro/
Hi Adri, love your tutorial. I've downloaded the crochet fonts and I've been able to follow the tutorial step by step quite easily. It's fun and saves so much time. Only I can't seem to find the slipstitch font. Maybe I am looking with my nose? It's not a big problem cause I can design one myself.
Million Thanks, Debbie from Amsterdam
