There is one called Oesco Block and it can do lettering down to .15", this alphabet is not included with the DesignShop software but it is one that is worth getting. Also, you would definitely want to use a 65/9 needle. We always have a deal here at MelcoMart called a 'Stick-n-stitch' bundle, and it is the one of the best bargains we have. For $50 you get a box of bobbins, a new bobbin case, 3 packs of needles and any 'premium' alphabet you want. If you do this deal everytime you need bobbins then it is a really inexpensive way to add new alphabets to your software.
