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
