Gini,
 
Aside from the good advise you are receiving for the guys and gals so 
far....more information is needed to help you with this problem. Roller 
condititon, Lubrication, is this on all needles or specific to 1 ? Does it 
happen regardless of what thread you put on the specific needle in question?

Simple lettering?? Is there such a thing?? I have come to view lettering as a 
pain...and the smaller it gets, the more of a pain it is. It demands extra care 
and knowledge to make it work and sew with quality. What is this "simple 
lettering?' Font? Size? Stitch length? Underlay & stitch length? Pull Comp?

Then we need to know , what backing and how much is being used, hooping 
technique, what size hoop are you using to do the job at hand, left chest, 
jacket back,etc?? Is any sticky spray or backing being used?

 The only real clue you have given is that it is a nylon jacket and the presser 
foot is "just touching." The presser foot has a specific purpose in life and 
that is to hold the material down to prevent flaging. The just touching is just 
a slight rule of thumb...the presser foot needs to be as low as we can get it 
without it causing any damage to the material from any battering. It must 
"compress" the garment, such as sweat shirts, fleece, towels, jackets, 
sweaters, etc, to prevent flagging. Lower your presser foot even more...just be 
careful to make sure it is not going to cause any damage to the  garment by 
going to low at too high a speed. The presser foot can become like a scissor at 
high speeds on some garments. A sample sewout  would be good in this case.

A good test to perform in a case like this is to revert back to Melco test 
sewout design called Ampass. You will find it by going to , C drive, Program 
Files, Melco Embroidery Systems, Amaya, Test Designs, Ampass. 

If the problem is not prevalent while running this design....then it is time to 
start looking at lettering or design issues or some of the other items 
mentioned above....
