ANother thing is your colum density to too high and its putting too many stitches in one area. Sometimes a light zig-zag underlay and lesser density on the main satin stitch makes letering look much better thann no underlay with heavy density satin. Now, not being familiar with PE you need to know if you lower or raise the density numver to achieve less density. On Design Shop you raise the number to get less density but I think its opposite on most other software. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
