Jeff, I religiously look at my code sheets. Melco script is my biggest problem and I stay away from that one altogether. I've also had problems with the Athletic Fill #2 and Freestyle script. Most of the issues are with the lighter colored threads, registration really seems to be poor, choppy looking. I've fooled around with different settings on the scripts and could never get them to look like something I would want to send out the door. I haven't checked into Melco U but it sure would be nice to have some additional training on working with the alphas in Design Shop.
