Granted there is such a thing as being too tight. . . and in the light of day, I can see how my comment sounds as if I was advising stretching to the limit! :D Seriously, I shouldn't post, when...

I also recently bought the Brother PE 770. I've been mostly 'playing' with my machine but have noticed that the tighter my fabric is in the hoop, the better the stitches are. Make sure the dryer...

Thank you! :) The reason I'd rather have stitched labels, is my current quilts are for a 3-yo girl and a 9-yo boy. They'll most likely need to stand up to quite a few washings. LOL I've used a...

Thanks, Cari. I absolutely agree with you, regarding the thinner thread. Problem is the (satin-type) stitches are too wide, for the overall width of the letters.

After posting my previous...

Seriously, the #90 (that came with the machine) doesn't 'look' that much thinner than my #50. I'm definitely gonna give the #60 a try! Thanks, everyone!
