Use a font that is fairly wide to begin with such as Roman Script. If you
use a thinner script font make sure to give it plenty of column width. Slow
your machine down to 600 SPM. Using 2 pieces of tearaway should be ok,
although cutaway would give you better stability. Make sure to hoop it nice
and snug. I would also use an underlay to put some stiches down as the
underlay will mostly soak into the material and then your satin stitches
should look nice. Use solvy as a topping as well. Good luck and I'm sure
you will make it look real nice :)

> A customer brought in a knit baby blanket today for me to add a name and
birth date. Of course it happens to be a cable stitch knit and chenille
yarn. I'm looking for any suggestions on how to tackle this beast beyond the
obvious things. Would any DS script font work better than another? I'm
looking at lettering height of .65 to .70. What about density and column
width. Should I use a zigzag underlay? I'm really worried about backing
because the backside will need a clean finished look with no backing
showing. I'm worried about stability of the stiching if I use a tear away.
This is a pretty loosely knit blanket. She's not to worried if the blanket
doesn't look to great when I'm done as I have blankets on hand that she can
purchase that would work much better and we did discuss the potential
problems in advance. Any and all advice is needed and welcome!!!
