I do like Cari and Lynnie - figure out what I want it to say then add the frame. My daughter wanted to have names put on jackets and I stitched out about 6 different sizes for her to decide. You might want to try that with your machine. Pick out a saying or a few words then make them in different sizes on a test fabric. Then with a fabric pen write the sizes and style on it for you to remember which each one is.
