HOLY COW!!,
I just read the original post...
.3" lettering with a density of 3.2 pts.  Now that's asking too much.  Try a 
density of 4.5 to 5 pts. and don't go crazy with the underlay.  These are 
capital letters, yes???  Because if they are not, you are not sewing letters at 
.3".  More like .2".  The letter height number in the "lettering properties" 
refers to letter height for Capital Letters.  These kind of things are 
discussed in my training class.
The 65/9 needle is kind of small for caps unless you're sewing on an 
unstructured cap.  Be sure to use proper "cap backing" as well.  If you don't 
have any, take a sheet of 8.5x11 printer paper and fold it twice, like you're 
putting it in a standard envelope, and try that.  It's the backing that keeps 
the cap from shaking side to side while sewing.  And reducing the speed on the 
machine helps with this as well.
Good Luck Linus,
