LuAnn, I just looked at the code sheets and Melco Block's minimum is .35". Do you have Micro Block. It goes to the size you want with the same type face. If you don't, send the text to me (save it down to version 2.0) and I'll change it over for you. It's a great font for small text. I think Aaron has suggested Oseco (sp) for small lettering.

If you have 60 weight thread then the 5.8 sounds about right. Feel free to take a picture and send it to me so I can see your problem with the lettering. Just a FYI, I tell everyone that all letters less than .25 inch may not be legible and we have the right to modify the design so the letters can be seen if they require it in the logo.
