Could you do a small appliqué patch?
then the only thing showing on the back is the satin stitch edging
which could be color matched. this would give the name a much
better sewing surface and could be colored to provide more contrast
or subtlety.
Just a thought.

> 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!!!
