Carole, you can get premade letters ($$) that come with instructions for sewing
out, or make your own as an applique with stitch saver material.
Set up in design shop the letter at the size you need, and convert to get a
wireframe outline. This size, easier just to redraw it with the tool (normal
walk stitch). Save this as a file (B outline).
Duplicate it, color change, duplicate again, set a wide line to sew down the
edges. Satin stitch in the same color to hide it, wide enought to overlap the
outline an 1/8" or so, or as large as you want, or make the letter and the
edges the school colors. Save this as (B sewout)
Send the first to Amaya, use your largest hoop and put in light backing and
your stitch saver. Now start sewing out only the outline as many times as you
can fill it in the hoop, by moving the hoopframe after each sewout. Use a
thread that contrasts the stitchsaver so you can see it. Do as many times as
needed for the number of shirts-and get them close as possible-the material is
not cheap. After all are sewn, carefully cut them out using the thread as your
pattern to follow.
Next, load the second file (B sewout) and make sure you set a pause after the
first outline. Use thread that either matches the material or is the outline
satin stitch. Setup your shirt, trace first to make sure it ends up where you
want-and hit start. It will sew the outline, then pause. Take one of the
carefully cut out letters and place it on this outline. If you need to tape it
down-use scotch tape-easier to tear off. Then hit start again and it will now
sew down your satin stitch (outside edge) and stop when done. Then load up the
next shirt and start over.
Stitchsaver is great stuff but expensive to practice with-use scrap shirts to
practice sewing and cutting the outlines.
