Hello,

Mama Kass has just posted in the Embroidery / How Do I? forum of AmayaUsers 
Discussion Boards under the title of Cleaning up True Type font ?????.

Here is the message that has just been posted:

Sometimes gaps also occur where two perpendicular columns meet, e.g. "T".  
Overlapping doesn't always help here because the stitches on the second column 
to be stitched will pull apart the stitches on the first column regardless of 
where they intersect .  I have solved this by applying a small section of 
underlay to the first column where the joint occurs so that the underlay 
stitches lay parallel to the stitches of the second column.  The underlay 
effectively disguises where the stitches pull part.

Rod Springer gave me some good general digitizing advice which I think is what 
Juli is referring to in her #1 above.  In order to avoid the fabric scrunching 
at the tips of pointed pieces (which is actually the fabric being pushed away 
by too many stitches rather than puckering), try to digitize so that the 
stitches run across the tip of the point rather than following around the edge 
of the point - think capped end rather than fan-shaped ends.
