Hi Jeff,
I just went into DesignShop and typed in the letter S and zoomed in on
the exit point of the letter and then went to Lock/Trim and selected Tie in
Tie out always and it made no difference, am I missing something here?

Hi Herb,
I need to jump in here so to make sure the information is 100% correct.
Not ALL Melco alphabets have lock stitches digitized in them. Garamond is
one of the DAK alphabets and none of the DAK alphas have lock stitches.
Also, if perhaps a Garamond TT font was used, it will not have tie
stitches either as no TT font will have them.
There are other exceptions as well. I know this is going to open a bucket
of worms, but I am willing to open it and as I am opening it, I will do my
best to answer all questions regarding the issue. This issue could also be
a reason Barbara is having problems on the nylon jackets.
As I stated, not all Melco alphabets have Lock Stitches in them. A good
example is all of the DAK alphabets.There are others as well. Now the
question comes up, "which others?". I honestly cannot tell you without
looking at the stitches they produce. It was never documented which ones
do and do not. All alphabets are hand digitized. Each was done by
different digitizers. Some used tie stitches some did not. Some used both
Tie In and Tie Out, some only used Tie Out. Some used one type of tie
stitch, some used others. The only one way to know for sure what is there
is to zoom in and look at the stitches at the end and at the beginning to
find out.
A problem that can happen is to turn on Tie stitches when the alphabet
already has them. This can put too many stitches at the end or beginning
of a letter. This can cause thread breaks, fray breaks, etc. Too many
stitches at the end of a letter where a trim is going to happen can cause
miss trims. The miss trims can then cause needle breaks as the move to the
next letter with the thread uncut will pull the needle to one side so when
it goes down it hits the needle plate or what ever and cause a broken
needle. This is perhaps some of Barbara's problems with broken needles?
Just a guess but a possibility? To many stitches in one spot will cause
the fray breaks Barbara described as well. Just a guess, but the Full
Block alphabet has tie stitches in it, so if the parameter to add more is
on in the file being used on the nylon jacket, this could be adding to the
problems she is having.
I am sure this is going to open the door for more questions. Please feel
free to ask them. Lettering, in particular small lettering, is a one of
the biggest problems to overcome.

Depends on whether you have converted your alphabets. There are lock
stitches digitized in all the Melco alphabets. If you have not converted
(removed) these you will not have any problems.

Hi all,
I did some lettering using the Garamond font from DesignShop and
under lock/Trim properties the lock setting was on none, am I going to
have a problem with stitches coming out, if so what can I do about it
before I give it to my customer? I usually have that setting to always by
default but somehow it got changed back.
Thanks in advance
