[amayausers] Re: Help with Lettering

Shannon,
I share your frustrations on the DS lettering. I too have had problems with 
letters unraveling but I can't remember what font it was. I know the 
Athletic Block Outline is to be avoided at all costs and who knows how many 
others have similar problems. I general stick to Melco block and script and 
the micro's for small lettering. I would venture to guess that some of the 
fonts available for purchase sew out much better but to get good results I 
think there are alot of other variables that make lettering look good. I 
just keep practicing with the lettering until I find the variable 
combination that works for the fabric and I've learned to always check the 
lettering on my samples to make sure it doesn't fray when trimmed. My little 
song and dance won't help much but know you aren't alone in your learning 
process.
Connie offers some good suggestions for you and I've learned alot from her 
and a few others on this list, information that has become invaluable.
