I have found that with small lettering it improves the look to use as small
a needle as possible.  I now use 70/10 Titanium Organ needles for small
letters.

Subject: [amayausers] Help with Lettering


I am sewing a dozen golf shirts using BOFFO DAK.  I have it set to trim
between letters and tie in tie off.  Several of the letters are raveling at
the bottom....L...P...I...A and I am spending time hand sewing 3 - 4 letters
per shirt and it is playing HAVOC on my confidence that the rest will remain
intact.  I love the look of that font but have had troubles with it in the
past.
I have limited (no) digitizing experience and have limited access to adjust
files.  I have had my AMAYA for 7 months and have always been concerned that
the FONTS do not sew well.  I look at all the embroidery OUT THERE ON
SHIRTS....and wonder what machine is creating it.  Then I wonder if all the
fonts for sell (those not coming with the start up package) are better than
what we get when we buy the package.  I have to give a quote to do 150 golf
shirts with text only.  What fonts work well for you?  What can I do to
prevent fraying on letters?  How do you improve the look of the letters?
Desparately seeking help!  Thanks for your help!
