Unless columns are smaller than about 25 points (~1/10"), I use "short stitches on" to prevent too many needle penetrations when going around corners etc. I don't know if this will help - it sounds like you're experiencing holes around the entire letter. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
