I've spent the last half hour going through the amaya posts for the month-I know this was just talked about and didn't write it down... trouble with small (under 1/4") letters-lots of thread breaks...do I turn short stitches 'on' or 'off'? I did find the font automatically put in underlayment AND second underlayment so I removed it and left only centerline, that helped but not enough. Reduced 75% of the breaks. Have a fill behind the lettering-reduced the undelayment on that-had lines too close on the underlayment so that the fill had a 'cordoroy' look and the lettering was terrible. Changed the fill pattern also. So I'm hoping the last couple problems are from having 'short stitch' incorrect. Roland
