knit material with Oesco font

[Hasco Embroidery]

We are trying to sew a logo using the Oesco font on knit shirts. It works fine on cotton, we've used heavy backing, solvy, and it still doesn't look good. adjusted density and pull but nothing seems to come out crisp. Letter ht. .20 so it is within the mins Any suggestions?

You might consider using a smaller needle (65/9), if you are not already. You can also use a 60 wt. thread and increase the density so you get adequate column fill.

What are your settings? What are you using for backing? Are you using solvy?

I would use a 65/9 needle and 60 wt thread if you have it, at least use the smaller needle if not the thread. Beef up your column thickness quite a bit, like 140-150%, use a density of 4.5-5.0, no underlay or just a center walk 10pt underlay, use a heavyweight cutaway backing with solvy on top.

When you make the column width this high it will look bad on the screen but should sew out nice.

I am assuming you are test sewing on material before trying this on the actual shirts.
