Your Post Office people much love you. You are always doing something for them. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again! You'll do it, I know you will. Love Chris

You will come up with the right combination I am sure. Go on to something else and I bet while you are doing that the answer will come to you. Sometimes I feel we think too hard and long about something and miss the obvious.
Glad to see you have a nice Mail lady as well. Mine is a Gem.

I have made 3 long banners this year and I think by the 3rd one I finally had the right combination. I discovered that using 2 contrasting fabrics and large applique letters gave a much neater look and they hung better, too. I found some good outdoor fabric in Joanne fabrics remnant bin & used flannel backed vinyl on another one. I tried several fonts but the satin stitch never did cover as well as applique and even with the trimming, etc the appliques finished quicker than stitching. Hope you have found the magic combination too!

You could use a 30 wt thread instead of the usual 40, that covers the red better and you won't need playing with the density ( if I remeber right you can reset the density in 6D Extra - higher density = lower number).
