Note that the lower case letters in 4" size aren't actually 4" tall; they are sized to coordinate with the upper case letters so they can be stitched together. Most average around 2", though the ones with tails (f, j, p, z) will be somewhat longer).

About the Chain Script Alphabet

I digitized this alphabet so I could replicate hand chain-stitching from some vintage family Christmas stockings, which I wanted to recreate as closely as possible to the originals. One of these is shown at right.

NOTE: The free alphabet is 4" size, but for the stocking shown I used the lettering in 2" size since the name is so long. Shorter names could be stitched in a larger size font. The stocking itself is about 20" long from top to toe.

While the chain stitch sews out just fine with regular #40 embroidery thread, I suggest using a slightly heavier thread for best results, especially in the larger sizes.

The stitching on this Christmas stocking was done with #30 cotton sewing thread, though #30 rayon would also work. The chain-stitched bell and holly are also traditional family motifs.
