[amayausers] Re: Font Question

I hardly ever sew lettering at less than 4
you'd be surprised at how high you can go
on some lettering and see acceptable results.

try 5 and a centerline underlay with a 15 stitch length.

  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
