Learned a tip today in embroidery class. When making small letters, like the smallest ones on your machine (on baby-lock its antique oakland 5 and heisinki narrow 5, use your bobbin thread in your bobbin and also in the upper thread. Your bobbin thread is smaller then your 40 wt thread and you will not have as much bulk. Sounds good to me. Sandy

Great idea! I noticed that some of my bobbin thread is more linty than others. Does this make a diffence?

I have a babylock and my dealer has said we can only use finished touch, so don't know about other bobbin threads. Thanks!

Another tip for small lettering is if you have a automatic thread cutter, turn it off so as to not make the many knots underneath your project. Makes for more clean up of your project but looks much nicer. Hugs Nan W
