Wendy,
the way you have it set will ensure that the tie off will happen anytime
there is a trim between letters.....

Subject: [amayausers] Another question


> Herb Acree was kind enought to teach me a little trick with the Design
Shop lettering and I hope what I've done is okay and won't cause my letters
to unravel. I'm using Micro Block Large CP for some lettering and was having
to do a lot of trims because of the spacing my customer wants. My trimmer
has not been cooperating with me lately so I tried moving the entry and exit
point of the letters to give them a longer tail for hand trimming. When I
sewed it out it worked like a charm but my concern is unraveling stitches.
Back in Feb of '04 another user posted that this font does not have a lock
stitch and will unravel if the jump stitch is hand trimmed. Is this true? If
so what can I do to prevent this from happening when I hand trim? I set my
lock/trim tab to tie-in & off always on this lettering. Will this do or is
there something else to do? When I trimmed my sample I tugged a little on
the tails after I trimmed one side and they seem secure. Any suggestions are
most welcome!
