[amayausers] Re: small letters

I would try the micro font to see how it looks.  Go 110-120% column width
and use 4 - 4.5 density.  Make sure your stitch length is around 10-15
depending on how tall your letters end up being (I'm guessing under .25").
You might even try setting that small lettering as a seperate color change
and using a smaller needle (65/9) and slowing the machine down a bit
(probably 1000 SPM).  It is ideal to use 60 weight thread for the smaller
needle but I only have a few spools of 60 and lately I have been using 40
weight and the smaller needle and my small text has been looking great.  I
would use solvy as well.
