I have been watching the list for about a year now and find people still
have trouble with small fonts. I too have had my share. But what I found
worked well for me was using a 65/9 needle and 60 wt thread. BP or sharp, it
doesn't matter. I get excellent results using Arial (DAK) with a medium to
heavy cutaway and one or two pcs of water soluble topping. Increase the
width a bit and 150% to 180% pull comp. I just finished a job where the
small text was .15. I sewed it without any thread breaks at 1200 spm. I have
done as small as .12 on woven shirts. Pique looks better at .18 - .20. If
you are having trouble with small text I encourage you to determine if your
machine has the updated parts. Mine is a 2003 model and I was ready to burn
it to the ground until I discovered that it was delivered with faulty parts.
They lasted about 6 months and then went bad. While I was genuinely torqued
at Melco for allowing ANY Amaya go out the door with parts they knew they
had a high failure rate, they did replace them.
