Question Dilemma concerning how to apply letters to my quilt

I need suggestions on what to do about the letters on this quilt. The lettering are right at 1 inch tall. I thought that I would free motion embroider them since I've successfully done smaller lettering that way. But when I try to do letters of this size it is messy.

I've considered applique, but they are so tiny. I thought some of you might have suggestions.

Thanks for any advise offered.

NOTE: I designed this quilt in EQ7. This quilt is intended for my pastor (an avid Arkansas Razorback fan) for his birthday.

The block is Arkansas Crossroads. The sentence is a ply on a Biblical scripture. As you can see I substituted the Bible book, chapter, and verse for my pastor's name and birthday.

The applique is in 3 layers. Black overlaid with red. Black and white details.
