I need help with embroidery font

embroideryandmore · August 7th, 2011, 09:26 PM

I am having much trouble with embroidery font on polo shirts. It seems that the lower case cursive "r" will get snagged to the back of the shirt. I am using 2 layers of allstitch classic backing and simple cursive font in 11 mm tall. I have finally tried adding to the column minimum. This works better in my sample but am afraid to ruin another shirt. ANy help from the pros?
thanks

So its a stock font from your software, usually these are digitized already.

How big are you making the entire image?

I am adding it to a logo I need to keep it within 4.5 inches wide lettering
"Package Engineering" client likes the simple cursive font but it seems too many stitches in it.

Although the choice of font seems appropriate but you may have to consider changing it. You must consult your clients and ask them if a different choice of font will be okay with them? Cursive writing may be a little tricky in some cases. Also try varying your font size the slightest bit. It may bring about a huge change. Good luck mate!
