small letters on velvet?

[Gini]

I have a request to put a logo that includes lettering on a baby's jacket made of black velvet.
In order to get the logo to fit onto the jacket, it needs to be pretty small. Plus it's velvet.
What settings should I use? How can I keep the hoop from damaging the fabric? I have solvy for the top, and cut away for backing. I wojuld aooreciate any advice you can give me! Thanks
