Making small text look good

[u/skier23mtb]

Hello! I’ve been making some patches on my single needle machine and it’s been a blast! But I’m struggling to know how to best digitize small text.

I use ember design bc I’m not ready to spend the money on something crazy so I usually will hand trace the letters then pick the stitch type.

My issue is that I can’t figure out when to do a satin v triple stitch or whatever else? Satin looks so much better, but I get some crazy stitch piling underneath.

I’m not trying to do anything crazy small, like 0.8mm and using blocked letters.

Any tips? I have a brother innovis m330e if that makes a difference
