An edgewalk works nicely or you can add a point or two in the column tab under column width/pull tab in the "x" and "y". I have noticed with the stock lettering that I need to check the density. Sometimes it's way too dense to embroider. Not sure if this would help with the needle marks, but try changing the stitch length setting in the lettering tab to 18. I'm sure there's a setting (so many settings) that I haven't figured out yet to help you out. Maybe others have some ideas for you. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
