Did you go to your font folder and right-click on the font to
"install" it? Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes, a TTF and that was the trick - I had copied the font file but
not "installed" it.
thanks to all for answering.

There is a great article in the November issue of stitches magazine
on how to sew on leather.
Check it out.

Wow, I wish *I* had that problem (quoting large orders). I think I
could handle changing hoops and I also know someone else with a shop
with two machines, and I would definitely try to get the order and
then find some backup to do part of them. I'm finding it hard to get
orders of any kind from anyone.
I have sewn on leather many times now and only have problems when it
was too thick. However, I was just googling up treadle sewing machines
(I collect old people-powered sewing machines) and saw a video on
youtube of someone at a trade show doing embroidery on a piece of
leather (that went on a purse) on a treadle, and one of the
interesting things I noticed (aside from her obviously having a cone
of thread on the FLOOR feeding the machine) was that it looked like
some kind of stabilizer underneath the piece of leather. I haven't
used one ever and so far (knocking on wood) I haven't had any of the
problems people mention. I just got a new Stitches magazine and
glanced at it, saw there is an article about embroidering on leather.
Sounds very helpful.

Anyone have any experience with using Design shop 9 with a wireless
printer? It prints with everything but design shop. When I click on
the print setup icon in ds I get no repsonse. Went to the help
section and attempted to print from there and it told me to click
the find printer. Which I did. No response. Any ideas? Thanks,
Cheryl

In Ds9 when I click on print it comes up with the correct printer
and then does nothing. Any suggestions?

First, designs must be digitized specifically for leather [reduced
density, little or no underlay stitching, longer stitch lengths, etc].
The goal when working with leather will be to punch as few holes as
possible, keep those holes as far apart as you can and make the
holes as small as you are able.
Second, there are different types of leather.
Lambskin is very soft and may not take stitching well unless the
digitizer and machine operator know the hide's limits and adhere to
those limits.
Pigskin tends to be bit tougher and a little easier to stitch.
Good cow hide is tougher still and is generally a little more
forgiving when it comes to stitching.
Buffalo hide can take the most abuse when it comes to stitching and
will be the easiest to stitch on.
Not only does the type of leather vary but so does the quality. It
is possible that the bags you were asked to stitch, are not suitable
for embroidery.
Stitching leather also has hooping and machine requirements which
differ from most embroidery.
If you like, I can email you privately [via this group] a sheet
giving general information on stitching leather.

Now there's a man who knows his hide(s)!!!
Way to go, Bob! I'm guessing you were raised on a farm?
Please sign me up for your general leather sewing information.
