[amayausers] Re: favorite fonts in Design Shop?

Also interested!
and wondering if anyone else has had this experience:

I have been tweaking a small lettering design since last fall, and we are
now in the midst of fulfilling the order. The font needed to be Eurostile,
available as a TrueType font that really didn't work very well. I converted
to wireframe and edited both the wireframe and individual stitch points
(thank you for that feature upgrade!) to improve the final appearance.

Unfortunately, despite looking great in DesignShop, some really WEIRD things
were happening on sew-out, including parts of letters getting jaggy or even
cut off. What I found was the Design-Filter settings under Tools. By
increasing the "accumulate" value to 5, all my little modifications were
left intact instead of getting deleted as single stitches (when it was set
to = 1). This made a huge difference; I wish I had tried it sooner.
