I have Janome embroidery machines. I don't know the capabilities of your machine but I'll tell you what I do and maybe you can adapt it and make it work on yours. I choose my first letter then touch the edit button. The edit screen on my machines have grid lines. I move the letter to the proper position with the arrow keys, then hit edit again, open the right file and choose my second letter, now it will show up on the original edit screen. I move it into place, then hit edit again to get the third letter, etc.. and so on. As long as I don't touch the "ok" button each letter on the screen can be moved individually. I don't touch the "OK" button until the word is finished. I can keep going with more words too, as long as I don't hit the OK button. Once the OK button is pressed, if I want to edit, I can only move the word or words as a whole, not the individual letters. I sometimes will save the design to my machines memory if I think I'll use it again. My newest machine came with editing software but I haven't used it yet because I've been doing it on the machines long enough that I have it down. I do have a really old Brother machine but I've never attempted words on it because the screen is so small.
