I can only work from my knowledge with my Brother 4000D and hope they are simular. If your working with the built in font sets they default to the "large" size. To change the size you need to select your first letter and then using the
L-M-S selector, push and it will highlight the size you want. And if it's still too big with the small size of that font you'll need to select a differnet font, but understand they will all be generally the same sizes. Hope this helped. Mona
