outlining letters

[Nalo_b]

hi i curently am having trouble outling letters. i have a design that has words that is 1/2"-1" tall. when outlinded certain letters get screwed up like the bottom part of an "a" or an "H". when going into corners the outline stitch direction turn and almost goes sideways and it also pivots from one point of the corner and hits the same spot as it makes the turn around the outside corner(hope that makes sense...)and the result is a big bump on the corners of those letters.

how would I need to digitize this to get rid of this problem? I tried changin the stitch direction but it doesnt allow me to.

any suggestions?
thank you!

Chad,

We are experiencing similar problems with letters in the DS library. We have tried three times stitching the same letters with the same poor results. (Doesn't that define crazy?) The diagonal parts of the letters get longer outline stitches - the middle of the letter N, V Y. They all look like they have fat outlines compared to the rest of the letter. Any help?
