When you set the stitch length at the project level or at the input tool that should set the stitch length for a graphic that you input, regardless what type of column you select to use when converting. I've tried importing and converting and mine isn't doing it. I've seen it with underlay for fills. Try changing the stitch type to column 1 as apposed to complex column and see if there is a difference. Also What size is the lettering and what stitch length are you using?
