Small Lettering

When it comes to embroidering small lettering many new embroiderers panic, because they don’t understand the intricacies of making lettering legible as it gets smaller. The simplest route to take is to use a pre-digitized font created to only be sewn at between .16 and .25 inches. If don’t have a small font then you need to choose a simple font without serifs.
Underlay
When making an underlay choice, choose a single running stitch in the center of the columns.
Density
Lower you density to about 45 stitches per inch.
Topping
If you are embroidering on a pique knit, fleece, polar fleece, velvet, or Terrycloth use a water or heat soluble topping.
