Hi!

other than decreasing the density (if needed) there is no other "process" that 
I am missing?  

I never seemed to have had any problems converting before, but what my 
digitizer said threw me for a loop!  I was concerned that now anytime I have 
large lettering it would have to be digitized!   I was hoping that wasn't the 
case.

  Depending on the weight of the material, you may want to decrease the density 
of your fill letters.  I have done sample letter sew-outs on a scrap of the 
target material - with decreasing density (which also cuts down the stitch 
count) in each subsequent letter - to see how low a density still looks good.  
Be sure to make note of which stitch-outs are which density.  Not only did this 
sample sew-out help decide how to handle the original order, I show the 
stitch-outs to the customer each time I have a new larger-letter job to help 
them decide what they want.

    Hi All!

    I was wondering if someone could give me some info. on the following.  I 
have a customer who needs to have some jackets done. (not nylon this time!)  
She wants text only on the back of the jacket done in a "western style".  The 
larger letters are approx. an inch and a half tall.  I just used one of the 
fonts that comes with design shop (not a true type font)  I noticed that the 
stitch count more than doubled when I changed from satin to fill.

    The person that I use for digitizing looked at it and said that the larger 
letters have to be digitized. (and they are only 1 1/2" tall)  He said that the 
fonts that are digitized as satin stitches will still follow that same pattern 
as a satin stitch when converted to fill causing the lettering to "bunch up" on 
the fabric when sewing out and it would cause endless thread breaks while 
sewing.  (though I have changed satin to fill before for directors chair backs 
to 2" and it sewed out great, just with a bazillion stitches)

    Is this really the case?  I was wondering if maybe I am just converting the 
satin to fill stitches incorrectly?  I would just enter the font and then go 
into fill and change it from satin to fill.  Is there a way to change and not 
have such a high stitch count? I certainly can understand an increase in 
stitches, but for it to more than double?
