Jeff, Thanks for the quick reply. The software is version 7.00.018, that's why I didn't expect to need the CSA/RSA files. I am having so much trouble, though. It must just be me. I have been playing with all the variables you have mentioned. I am getting ready to put a name on a doctor's jacket and have been testing with various keyboard lettering and some scraps of similar fabric that would keep the name an appropriate size. This should be pretty basic, but I don't seem to be able to get it right. The fabric I am using to test is shirt weight, and the coat fabric is enough heavier that it's probably no a good test fabric after all. I'll try find something else. This is the first time I've tried to do lettering this small. I am a little limited because this is for a very petite woman, so I want crisp lettering that doesn't dominate her. Do you recommend a particular keyboard lettering?

Do not put it into the 2006 or version 7.00.018 software that is available, or any other version for that matter. If you are not sure what version you have, with the software running and open, click on Help than About Amaya OS. It will open a window with the version number in it. Question, if you sew the lettering you are doing on other garment types does the bobbin show through? Normally bobbin showing through is a bobbin too loose, too much thread feed, a density problem in the design, lack of or the wrong type of backing for the garment being sewn on.
