Evelyn, I pulled this from Melco's web site under "existing embroiderers". Remember that results will always differ depending on the fabric you a sewing on. We have found that a layer of solvy on top of knit golf shirts helps out too. Ed TIP: Do you have problems sewing out small letters? If so here are some tips to help make small letters look better. In DesignShop you must refer to the code sheets to see what alphabets can be sewn small. Most closest point alphabets can be sewn smaller than the non -closest point alphabets. For example to sew small letters from .30 and below, follow the following suggested parameters: Stitch Length: 15 points Horizontal Spacing: 0.02-0.03 Column Width: 120% Density: 4.0 - Do not use Auto Density Short Stitches: Off Underlay: Center Walk, Stitch Length: 15 points Ed & Maralien Orantes E.M.

I have a logo that I am working on right now that has 30 letters, not counting spaces and they want it all on one line and 3.5" wide! Should I digitize each letter rather than using the "micro" font? If so, what would you suggest for density, column width compensation etc. I have Design Shop Pro if that matters. TIA Evelyn Express It With Thread
