Need help with embroidering names to clothing.

Hi. I have a brother 270D sewing/emboidery machine. I have been using the embroidery setting to do machine applique designs and embroidery design to clothing but I have never attempted to embroider a name on anything. my problem is I have no clue how to do this. I can do an dintiale but not a full name. How do I go about getting my machine to read the entire name as one design insdtead of each letter as one individual design. I don't want to have to move the clothing on the hoop each time I add a new letter becuase I know i could never get it lined up correctly for all the letters to match. I know there has to be a way to do it with the entire name in one design but I am so clueless as to how. I know this is a stupid question but can someone help explain to me how to do this? I would really appreciate it.



Thanks,

Vicki

<font color="purple">Hi Vicki! I just saw this post. I personally would be no help with this problem, sorry. You might try posting this same request on the &quot;Help A Crafter&quot; board. It may get more responses there. I know there are ladies here that have experience with the embroidery machines, so you should get some help.
