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.

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.
