I tested using the recommendations from all of you and then the ladies at my dealer. Test one I did hoop the leather used a cutaway poly mesh the letters were satin stitch with a underlay of running stitches(I guess). Well that test was ok but there was alot of stretching in the pleather. Test Two this time around i use the same letters with a 2 layers of cutaway and the design looked great oh, i did not hoop though. Test 3 use same lettering with only a single running stitch and one layer of cutaway and that stitched out great to. So now I will give it a try on the actual vest to see how everything goes. I am not sure if I should use a fill stitch or just leave it at satin. I guess I should do a test on that to see how it looks.
