I am using a woven. The small lettering is why I wanted to use the 60 wt
polyneon. It really makes a difference in the quality of the lettering, but
I'm being driven nuts by the inconsistent performance. Stitches OK for a
while, then the thread break.

I just looked at the alphabets you are using here are a couple of
observations I have.
One, even though the alphabet code sheets state a certain recommended
minimum for a letter height, there are a couple of things to consider. If
you are using both upper and lower case letters, the lower case are 2/3 to
1/2 the size of upper case. You are stretching the limits on the alphabets,
which is ok, but means there may be some things to do to help it out.
All 3 of the alphabets you are using have serifs. This makes them even more
difficult to use on a knit at small sizes, and makes them more inclined to
sink into a knit or polo type of garment. Adding some column width will
help. I find a good way to make sure of a good column width is to use the
Minimum Width setting on the Column TAB in Design Shop. Normally this is set
to 5 points by default, set it to 10. What this will do is make sure that
there are no stitches or spots in the columns that are less than 10 points
wide. Columns less than 10 points wide on a knit are tough to make look
good. Use 2 pieces of medium cut away if the garment is a light knit,
perhaps 1 will work, 2 is better, but for sure do not use tear away. As it
is a knit, I would also use solvy on top to aid in keeping the stitches on
top of the material. And, if needed, tighten the bobbin a bit.
