Hey Ron, That's impressive! You should be in "Sales". I'll be getting my 60 wt. thread on order real soon, now. I've been wanting to try but really wondering if it was worth my time. Thanks for your time at the scanner. I owe you one.

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.
