You are using large letters which makes your column width too wide not too thin. The fix for this is to use the Auto-Split feature found under the column tab in your properties assuming your software is new enough to have this feature. The other way is to change it to a fill stitch and you can make the settings look like a split column by making the number of partitions 2 with the right stitch length. This lettering will look a little different then the rest so you might consider spliting the column on the whole design and whenever its a certain stitch length (you can set this and I set mine at 50-60 with a min length of 8). Let me know if you are completely confused now :) =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
