85 Free Cross-Stitch Fonts

March 16, 2022 by Shellie Wilson

Cross-stitching is a timeless craft that allows people to create beautiful, intricate designs by stitching small X-shaped stitches onto fabric. One of the most important aspects of cross-stitching is choosing the right font to use on your pattern. Fonts can have a significant impact on the final look and feel of your design, whether you’re stitching a traditional sampler or a modern piece.

In this roundup, we’ve compiled a list of free cross-stitch fonts that you can use to create your own custom text. All of the fonts listed are free at the time of writing, and can be downloaded easily from the internet. You can use a free text generator link to create your own text in a variety of different fonts, or chart out your own text using the font charts listed below.

Choosing the right font for your cross-stitch pattern can be a daunting task, as there are so many to choose from. When deciding which font to use, there are a few things to consider.

First, think about the style of your design. If you’re creating a traditional sampler, you may want to choose a classic serif font that is easy to read and has a timeless quality. On the other hand, if you’re creating a more modern design, you may want to choose a sans-serif font that has a more contemporary feel.

Another important factor to consider is the size of your fabric. If you’re stitching on a smaller piece of fabric, you may want to choose a font that is simpler and easier to read. Conversely, if you’re working on a larger piece of fabric, you can afford to choose a more detailed font that will create a stunning visual impact.

Create Snarky projects or add names to charts, including the Disney font.

    nice fonts, but not really free. To get most you have to order overpriced floss you could buy at any local store for less.
