With a single line font you are just using one line rather than two. Below we have an example of how you can make rhinestone font designs using single line fonts and Inkscape. Inkscape is a free design package which is excellent for making rhinestone designs- it can be downloaded [from inkscape.net](from inkscape.net)  \nFor this example using single line fonts we are using a download from [https://www.templatemaker.nl/singlelinetext/ -they have a choice](https://www.templatemaker.nl/singlelinetext/ -they have a choice) of fonts that you can select and then download a SVG file with your chosen word(s) . You can source your own single line fonts from many popular font sites but this is an easy way to start with them.  \nOnce downloaded open the file, group all the letters together and then resize the text to the width that you want-you can also change the proportions of the text if you want to. Inkscape may default to showing the measurements in px-make sure you change that to mm.  \nNext draw a 3.3 mm circle and select both items.  \nThen go to Path > Object to Path  \nThen Extensions > Generate to Path > Scatter  \nTick the live preview box and adjust the settings until the circles are well positioned (as you change the settings the preview changes) and then click Apply and Close  \nDelete the original image and then ungroup the circle design. You will probably find that you have some overlapping stones, just remove or reposition them. Also if the letters are too close together just select and move the entire letter as required as we show in the final example at the bottom.  \nYou are now ready to save your file and send to your cutter to make up your rhinestone stencil.  \n[w](w thetransferpress.co.uk)[ thetransferpress.co.uk](w thetransferpress.co.uk)  \nt 01404 892995 [e](e info@thetransferpress.co.uk)[ info@thetransferpress.co.uk](e info@thetransferpress.co.uk)","cbCaikBF4u825nHU","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikBF4u825nHU","pdf",283193,"English","# Why single line fonts matter\n## Making the stencil with Inkscape\n# Cutting-ready final file","[{\"question\":\"Why are single line fonts useful for rhinestone stencil designs?\",\"answer\":\"They use only one line to define each letter, making it easier to place the small circles required for the stencil.
