Hi Christine,
Small letters (and I'm not sure how small you are talking about) should stitch 
fine if your machine is properly lubricated, you are using the right backing 
(and Solvy if needed) and garment is hooped taut. Also if the letters are 
properly digitized and you are using the right size needle. A couple things you 
can try is going to a 60 weight thread and a 65/9 needle unless you are 
stitching on a very heavy weight material. Also, raise your tabletop and look 
for the closest needle which will be designated probably in black magic marker 
as C-?. That is the number of your closest needle to the hook and will give you 
the best stitching for small lettering.  Every machine is a different number. 
Be sure you have slipped the corner of a piece of typing paper under your leaf 
spring on the bobbin case to clean out any debris that may be under it then 
tension it as Mama Kass told you. There are also settings that can be changed 
to give more top thread so the bobbin thread isn't being pul
 led so tightly. Is your font a Melco font and if so, have you looked at your 
sheets for that font to be sure it was intended for the size you are trying to 
stitch?
