[amayausers] Re: Font for Fleece

Wendy,

Sewing the lettering twice in-lieu of a good zigzag underlay may give
you the desired appearance but it also creates very thick embroidery
commonly called "bullet proof" embroidery. (Someone I know jokingly says
this only acceptable if your niche is law enforcement) It also tends to
pucker and curl after washing. Keep experimenting and increase the
zigzag underlay density until it blocks out the fabric and lifts the top
stitches. The top stitches should remain at regular density. Design Shop
2004 has a double zigzag underlay that is even more effective in this
situation. In the end the design will have a much lower stitch count and
softer feel.

Hi Lynn,
I'm relatively new too so not sure I can give as much or good advice as
the 
'seasoned' listers but what really works for me on a high pile fleece is
to 
run the lettering twice. First time is with a high number value density
just 
to get the pile to lay down. I think I adjust the stitch length too. I
use 
the same or close color as the garment for this. Then I run the
lettering 
again at regular values for the item over the top (all one .ofm file).
The 
zig-zag underlay would be the same concept but I never seem to get the 
results I want so use the other method when necessary. I'm always
concerned 
that with the higher pull comps. and satin stitch on fleece the pile is 
going to pop through the stitching. As I get better at this I'll
hopefully 
get the hang of the zigzag underlay and what lettering works the best
with 
it.
It all seems to be a learning curve and the listers give the best
starting 
points. You have to take it from there and figure out what will work in
your 
situation.
Good Luck!!
