Oh, and on needles, the larger the needle size, the larger the circumference is
of the needle, so therefore, it pokes a bigger hole! So, if using a 60 weight
thread, use a 65/9 needle---just be sure you use Organ needles because they
have the larger eye so the thread can pass through the eye easier for high
speed sewing.
With speed being mentioned, Amayas were designed to sew usually not to exceed
1200. They are capable of sewing higher, but they say, you can drive your car
at 120 mph but you don't drive that speed. The machines sew their best at
1200. That is the speed all testing is done at as well.

Sharon...I had assumed that the bulk of my thread was 60 wt...
now I am not sure! It's so easy to confuse me lately...
but the 'lettering' I changed thread on is actually 'line art'-the letters
are part of a logo and are not a 'typed font'- the letters are made from
nothing more than single line satin, maybe 6 or 7 line width. I'd have to
check-it's pretty narrow. Using the ARC thread (still got a couple spools
to use up) the lines were pretty ragged, so I grabbed a sample spool from
Madeira that is labeled as #40...didn't change a needle or anything in the
digitizing-and the 'letters' came out cleaner and bolder. So I thought the
ARC thread was 60 Wt, and using a 40 (I thought heavier) made the difference.
So if you can throw some quick and painless 'education' my way on what in
the heck the threads are it would help!
I thought the lower the thread 'weight', the higher the needle number used.
(30 wt thread, #80 needle, etc.)?

Roland,
I have to ask, what weight thread are you sewing with normally? We sew
most embroidery with 40 weight thread but when we want very small, crisp
lettering, we drop to a 60 weight thread so it isn't heavy and leaves nice,
crisp tiny letters. We also use a smaller needle such as a 65/9. Typically,
we sew with a 75/11. Your suggestion to use 40 weight for small, crisp
lettering throws me. Yes, for most of our lettering we do use 40 weight
thread---I am talking really small lettering like .18.
Sharon
