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. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
