Hi Jeff!
I found the following information to be very valuable to me! I thought that
only true type fonts did not have tie in tie off.
I was able to complete my jackets this morning with no needle or thread
breaks. It turns out that the nylon just wasn't hooped tight enough and was
getting too loose while sewing. Go figure. But, the info. you provided
below is very much appreciated! (the font ended up being micro times. I
hope it has tie in and tie off, if not, I have my fray check handy!)
Thanks for all your time and help!
