I was assuming knits. You might need to play with the column width some,
maybe even 130% for knits. If you are going to sew on nylon or something
smoother you don't need the solvy but the other setting would probably be
fine. I won't sew any Micro fonts at under 110% column width or the
underlay has a tendancy to show.
