I made name labels on 1/2" ribbon for clothing not too long ago. I used the small size script font on my machine(Janome MC200e) and reduced it further in the machine. I was able to use my regular 40wt thread with no problems, but if the lettering had been any smaller I would have used 60wt thread.

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 post, I remembered there was a free demo
, so I'll try that and see just what I can do with it.
