Works best with names 6 or 7 letters long. joshua is my name and that is why it is showing there in the pic. you CAN"T do it in caps, or the letter won't show up. spaces can type, and dots, but no other punctuation. HOW I MADE THIS: I have a costume for each letter, named after the letter..the computer detects each letter and converts them into the costumes, and then they stamp.
