Depending on the weight of the material, you may want to decrease the density
of your fill letters. I have done sample letter sew-outs on a scrap of the
target material - with decreasing density (which also cuts down the stitch
count) in each subsequent letter - to see how low a density still looks good.
Be sure to make note of which stitch-outs are which density. Not only did this
sample sew-out help decide how to handle the original order, I show the
stitch-outs to the customer each time I have a new larger-letter job to help
them decide what they want.

Subject: [amayausers] converting sating stitches to fill stitches
Hi All!
I was wondering if someone could give me some info. on the following. I have
a customer who needs to have some jackets done. (not nylon this time!) She
wants text only on the back of the jacket done in a "western style". The
larger letters are approx. an inch and a half tall. I just used one of the
fonts that comes with design shop (not a true type font) I noticed that the
stitch count more than doubled when I changed from satin to fill.
The person that I use for digitizing looked at it and said that the larger
letters have to be digitized. (and they are only 1 1/2" tall) He said that the
fonts that are digitized as satin stitches will still follow that same pattern
as a satin stitch when converted to fill causing the lettering to "bunch up" on
the fabric when sewing out and it would cause endless thread breaks while
sewing. (though I have changed satin to fill before for directors chair backs
to 2" and it sewed out great, just with a bazillion stitches)
Is this really the case? I was wondering if maybe I am just converting the
satin to fill stitches incorrectly? I would just enter the font and then go
into fill and change it from satin to fill. Is there a way to change and not
have such a high stitch count? I certainly can understand an increase in
stitches, but for it to more than double?
