I don't know how it would look, but you could change the stitch type from satin to fill and see if that would work for the font you'd like to use (it's a setting probably in the properties/column area--I only have letera, i.e. lettering only, no design shop). Hope this helps.

I'm doing the back of a carhart jacket and I don't want it to come out like some I have seen. The solid satin stitch does not seem to last.
