I think it is because of the long movements that are being made. I find slowing them down slightly makes it sound less worrisome, though of course it does nothing to change the movements the machine is making! In Diana font, I also find I have to adjust the column width to 80-90% to keep it narrow enought to sew out well on most of our monograms. If I have to sew very large letters in this font, I will set the column width to 90% and then use a fill stitch throughout to avoid having long thread floats. Honestly, though, I've just started putting an upper limit on the size of the Diana font and directing customers who want something larger than that to a different font that sews out better at large sizes, like Fanci Monogram or End Scroll. With the ability to e-mail PDF proofs of the file, it's easy to stay in touch with the customer and direct them to a more appropriate font "for quality reasons". =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
