Small Letter

[Monograms N More]

I doing some small letter on shirt sleeves of polo
shirts. .35 and .3 I'm using a 75/11 needle, 1 piece of cutaway and topping.

I'm getting lots of thread shredding and thread breaks.

Please tell me what you do for small lettering!

At the min, use a #10 needle. At best use a #9 needle and 60 Wt thread. No underlay and perhaps decrease the density (use a larger number).

A 70 needle would be better; better yet would be 60 wt thread (Madeira) and a 69 or 70 needle. But the real problem could be too many stitches in your lettering.

Font is the reason most small lettering does not look right. Make sure you are using the correct font for small lettering.
