Generally the text it curved around the hole. but with only numbers (2 at most I assume), you probably don't even need to bother to arc them- might look strange, depending on letter height. I sew them with a c/w underlay and pretty dense on mesh- say about 3 to 3.5, and use 2 pieces of 3 oz. cap backing-no topping. This works well for me. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
