Graphic design wise... Do not trim, kern your letters more closely (tighten up 
the space between the letters).  Then use closest point.

Professionals do not leave big gaps (unless by design) between letters.  It 
will give your work a more sophisticated look.  Your clients won't be able to 
necessarily tell you why it looks better but they will notice.

It's one of the things that seperates us from our competition.  I personally 
adjust the lettering by hand on every design we send out that calls for it.  I 
see AWEFUL design out there done by embroiderers who let the letters stand as 
they are typed and when you look at it, you could drive a mack truck between 
the characters.  Major cringe material.

So, not only will it look better, but it will save you in many cases from 
trimming or at least cut down on the amount.
