- •Keep letters at least 6 mm tall so satin columns stitch cleanly.
- •Choose bold, rounded fonts for small text — thin serifs can break up.
- •Use a stabilizer suited to your fabric to keep letters sharp.
- •Test stitch a sample before stitching onto the final item.
One Colour, No Fuss
Single-colour lettering needs no thread changes, so your EXP file stitches start to finish without stops — ideal for quick monograms.
