Each font has different characteristics. I've found that the prescribed density and underlay for a certain font doesn't work well so I have to adjust the settings after a sewout. I then make notes of what works and what doesn't. Also I've noticed a slight difference between machine manufacturers on fonts as well. Hell, even certain fonts I won't use because I don't like the way they sew out. I really like free step in my Compucon software because of the dimension it shows and the durability of it.
You really have to spend some time just experimenting with all the parameters on scrap material to get an idea of what your machine will produce. I don't think you'll find that on many tutorials. Tutorials only give the basics.

Maybe that is the problem... it just seems hard to find even the most basic "guidelines" on this stuff.
I start salivating when I'm in a shop that I know produces top quality stuff, I'm waiting for my chance to ask a million questions on how they do X, Y or Z.
