My Bad,
The bottom one is the 75-11 version
and the top is the  65-9 version.

  Subject: [amayausers] Small needles and thread


  Hey All, just took a break from the Christmas
  onslaught to send out some info.

  for those who, like myself had been wondering 
  if trying a 60 wt thread and a 65-9 needle is worth it.
  I had ordered both and had a chance to play with it today.

  A customer has a digitizing his logo way too small in my opinion.
  The whole thing is 2.2 high and 1.9 wide.
  The pictures attached are the bottom third  I used
  a ruler so you can grasp how small this is.
  It is on black twill material.
  It is the first attempt at digitizing it, and the way we work
  it is, digitize it, sew it, refine it, sew it, do we need more?
  Yes, No - then do the job.

  anyway the first sample is the raw file sewn out with 75-11 needles and 
  standard 40 wt Arc poly at 1200 spm MT 4 and old black rollers.

  the only change on version 2 is a 65-9 needle and 60 wt Gunold Poly thread.
  I was amazed at how cleanly it sewed. Granted it need a lot of work, but not 
near
  as much as the first version needed.

  I am a firm believer, now.
  Oh, and for those who are interested 
  This is hand digitized by, myself at 5.5 density with a centerwalk
  underlay at 15pt stitch length.
  Letter height is right at 1/8 " on the bottom line.

  Just an FYI for anyone interested 
  hope it sheds some light on the subject.

  Happy Holidays
