Do you know the biggest challenged faced by a digitizer? It is definitely the Digitizing of Crisp Small Letters. When we are talking about the lettering, the size really matters.

If you are in search of a way to make your text clear and crisp, then you need to keep the following things in mind:
1-Pay Attention to Text Width
You might have heard that to get high-quality text, the letters should not be shorter than a quarter inch. But that’s not completely true. The thing that matters most is the width of a column that will be forming the letters. If this is not important, then the height of letters will be important. You are not able to create a satin stitch that will be narrow in comparison to the needle utilized for forming the stitch. For instance, if the diameter of your needle is 1 mm, then this the minimum width of your satin stitch.
Remember that if the satin stitch you are trying to form is not at least wide as the thickness of the needle, then this will lead to poor quality of a text. You need to use a small needle with a thin thread for the small text. Note that the embroiderers use a 40-weight thread and 75/11 needle for the work. But you can utilize a 60-weight thread and smaller needle-like 70/10. If you are changing one but not the other, then this technique will not be beneficial for you.
2-Understand Pull Compensation
For your information, pull compensation is a setting. Embroidery digitizers will be using it for adjusting the natural capability of fabric to push and pull when stitches are applied. Remember that the lettering programmed without some pull compensation will not provide you the desirable results. It is impossible to say how much you should use because different circumstances need different levels. Note that if your lettering sews out very thin, even it seems that you programmed for right column widths, then still you need to apply pull compensation.
3-Selection of Right Underlay
Underlay is very important to ensure that you get a good foundation for your letter to sew on. You need to keep the following things in your mind:
1-Don’t use an edge-walk for underlay on small letters. On the small column, the edge walk underlay will be having a propensity to pop out the sides of the column. For the small columns, you should consider a center-walk.
2-Whenever possible, the stitches you use to move through letter can function as underlay as well. There are situations when you can forget about the underlay depending on the appropriate situation. This approach is used for the very small letters on super-stretch fabrics. In short, you should be prepared for the experiments.
4-Avoid Fancy and Tiny Letter
It is important to note that the serifs and fancy letters that are having variable column width are very difficult to keep letters looking good in small size. It is a fact that quality will be compromised when you are trying to stuff letters in a small space. Remember that the embroidery is not having the resolution of print media and there are times when fonts should be simple for keeping things look good. When you are working, then you should select a simple font. When the font to be embroidered is under half an inch, then it will not sew well.
5-Select Proper Density
If you are going to add more things in a box more than its capacity, then things will fall out. The same is the case here. If you are placing many stitches in a small space, then the result will not be good. For your information, density is the amount of space present between the stitches. Remember that the higher the density, the closer will be the stitches. At a certain density, problems will occur that include thread breakage, letter holes filling and puckering holes in the fabric. This is a moving target, so telling the exact density is not possible. The thing important here is that you should keep an eye on the designs to fix the problems soon.
