How to write Abigail in cursive
- Start with a capital A (downcurve, undercurve, slant, undercurve). Start just below the topline. Curve down and around to the left to make a large oval that touches the baseline.
- Swing up into the b (undercurve, loop, slant, undercurve, checkstroke): a tall loop that comes back down to the baseline, then a small curve ending in a checkstroke at the midline.
- From the checkstroke of the b, write the i (undercurve, slant, undercurve; dot): a short undercurve and slant, with the dot added after the word is finished.
- Swing up into the g (downcurve, undercurve, slant, loop, overcurve): the oval of an a followed by a descender loop that crosses back on the baseline.
- Swing up into the a (downcurve, undercurve, slant, undercurve): a small oval closed at the midline, then a slant down and an undercurve out.
- Swing up into the i (undercurve, slant, undercurve; dot): a short undercurve and slant, with the dot added after the word is finished.
- Swing up into the l (undercurve, loop, slant, undercurve): one tall loop, the simplest tall letter.
- After the word, dot the is.
