I use walk stitch to create a 'border' around the entire area, almost
like a 'balloon' outline. The only time I do individual letters is on
the giant stockings where the letters are far apart-but on regular
stockings just outline the 'whole thing' about 1/8" outside all of it
and don't worry about going 'up' the legs of H, N,M, etc.-just ignore
that and it will look fine.
Most fabric shops should have remnants of fake fur you can play with.
