With embroidery I've always struggled with lettering. I'm not a big fan of tracing paper or iron-on lettering, either. For these reasons over the last year I've come up with a little hack that allows me to letter almost anything in any style I want. First I print out my lettering on bond paper in the font size I want, and then cut it up and arrange it on the project to see where I want each word.
I then use a razor knife to turn the printouts into stencils.
Once the stencils are cut out, I pin them to the project and use a disappearing marker to trace the letters I'll be embroidering.
As you can see the results are pretty decent.
