I have been embroidering a poem onto handerkerchiefs and here is what I found
works for me.
Use #60 weight thread. Font is elegans-dak
letter height I use is .303
Letter width is 120
Width is 120
Density is 8
no underlay
Hope this helps. I do not use backing. It sews out great without any thread
breaks. Good luck!

I have been fighting this hankerchief for a week now. I am embroidering a poem,
script font on a linen handkerchief for a wedding. Black thread, letters are
.5". I've tried all kinds of combinations, 110% to 150% column width, 3.5 - 5.0
density, no underlay, walk stitch underlay, zigzag underlay and a combination
of both. I either get lots of thread breaks, or the bobbin shows through the
top. Material thickness from 2-4. I'm not real picky about font, just want
something fancy. I love Diane Script but it just won't run that small. Has
anybody ever done a hankerchief? If so, can you help with some guidelines? I
think I've just looked at this on so much I'm missing the obvious. Any help is
appreciated. PS two weddings this Saturday!
Thanks,
Evelyn
