I made the suggested adjustments and the letters are stitching well, except they still tend to shred in the begining and/or end of the letters (tie in/tie off). I'm chose "Tie In/Tie Off Only When Necessary" Style 1 for both, Width 6pts, and Number of stitches 2. Which brings up another question. The lettering is in black thread. The shirt colors are more light/earthy colors which is why I chose to trim between each letter. Am I making this harder than I should? Should I just have the letters connect "At closest point"? If so, should I put the letters closer to each other so it's not so noticeable? Or should I still trim between letters and figure out what the problem is? I'm willing to send the design to anyone who wants to have a look at it. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
