[amayausers] Re: Letters Mushing

Jim,

This can be a common problem and complaint depending on the size of the 
design. What is the vertical height of the design, including the lettering? 
What size is the lettering and what font is it? How much pull comp has been 
added to the lettering? What underlay is being used in the lettering? Is 
this a keyboard font or a custom digitized font on the lettering? What 
software are you using in Design Shop?

 With the keyboard lettering, as well as custom digitized lettering, extra 
color breaks can be added between the individual letters. For example take 
the name " AMAYA ", if centered, the middle  "A" would be right in the 
middle of the center seam. If a color break were to be entered on both sides 
of this letter than you could now use the" "Settings by Color" tools found 
under the "Settings" tab while working in Amaya OS. This niffty tool allows 
you to select the specific color, the "A" now being listed as it's own color 
and change the speed, material thickness, column width etc, of the machine 
just for this one letter.

Now, the arched lettering and the vertical height will always cause problems 
if it is too high/tall. The best bet is to not have any cap design over 2" 
in height for good results, maybe up to 2.25". I sometimes push my luck and 
sew designs even up to 2.7" (depends on the design) but the taller the 
design the more the design will suffer, especially lettering that has been 
arched across the top of the sewing area......
