[amayausers] Need tips

Hey Group!
A customer brought in a knit baby blanket today for me to add a name and birth 
date. Of course it happens to be a cable stitch knit and chenille yarn. I'm 
looking for any suggestions on how to tackle this beast beyond the obvious 
things. Would any DS script font work better than another? I'm looking at 
lettering height of .65 to .70. What about density and column width. Should I 
use a zigzag underlay? I'm really worried about backing because the backside 
will need a clean finished look with no backing showing. I'm worried about 
stability of the stiching if I use a tear away. This is a pretty loosely knit 
blanket. She's not to worried if the blanket doesn't look to great when I'm 
done as I have blankets on hand that she can purchase that would work much 
better and we did discuss the potential problems in advance. Any and all advice 
is needed and welcome!!!
TIA,
