You can make the letters exactly the same as the ones you printed on your fabric and lay them over the printed words. Just my advice. But that's because it sounds like satin stitching can cause problems if not done correctly.
Totally agree with this! I would applique the letters on with fusible and then do a small zig zag stitch to reinforce the edges down. I would also use a stabilizer behind it to keep the fabric flat
