Cheryl,
I have disliked The Copperplate font for this reason. This type of font is
difficult to size up or down and always promises troulble, especially on
something like T shirt material.
Short of heavy editing of the font itself, try this. Go to a 4 density, turn
off short stitches, eliminate any underlay you have added--like the centerwalk,
change the stitch length to 16 or 17, add as much pull compensation as you can
but not so much as to distort the letters and in OS go into the "Settings" tab
and select "Settings by color", ativate it and on the respective color/needle
that is sewing the lettering set your machine speed to 900, the column width to
53 and here you can also set your material thickness too , try a 4 or 5.....too
high and looping will start to occur--need to experiment with this one.
I often go into each individual letter, convert to wireframe editing nd
adjust/eliminate a ton of end points, straighten out lines, adjust
overlaps..etc.....just a peice of cake....eh?
Good luck

Hi all,
I am hoping someone might be reading who can help me out. I am using a
Cooperplate font at .25 inches tall on a cotton knit medium weight t shirt.
Double backing. I cannot get the cooperplate to look right. Code sheets
indicate that is the smallest possible size. Density is 3.5 with a center walk.
It will sew at 3.5 but maybe that is too dense??? The lettering looks uneven,
almost puckered. I always thought if it will sew out, use the lowest density
possible? Should I try a lower density?. My test sew outs were done on 2 layers
of cutaway backing sheets and it looked great, but add the royal blue T shirt
material with white thread. EEE GADS, a nightmare. Any ideas? I also added
double solvy on top last night before giving up, it improved a little but still
that bunched puckering look. Thanks for any help
