Clip them from the back and pull the thread from the front to the back - if you can or just use fray block.

I always fray block the last stitch in a design. The others seem to hold ok...but that last one doesn't alway tie off, esp. if it's a letter. Are you having all of the letters ravel or just the last one?

I have this problem especially with writings I made in embird with comic sans (Alphabet No.4). Clip of the thread and it starts to unravel. Always have a tube with textil-glue and put a drip at the backside bevor tear away the stabilizer. Sometimes the stitching itself has a hole (like at h, r and l) and I have to do "handembroidery" to fill it :o(

Al so do what Bettina has mentioned. Lettering can sometimes be a real pain.......

If you have any editing software you might be able to set the letters to 'tie in' and 'tie off' at a lower setting so they always perform the tasks even if they don't perform a trim.

I have this same problem and posted about it a while back.... Someone said not to clip the bobbin thread but some jump stitches HAVE to be clipped. I have been using Fray Block and it works. Be careful not to put too much. A little dab will do ya! :)

Thanks for the tips" Happy Easter

Not only on alphabets but when I do something that has a lot of jump stitches,ie. faces,letters, polka dots,etc. I slip a small piece of water soluable stabilizer on top just BEFORE you start that part of your design. When you take it off you can slip your scissors between the stitching and stabilizer, clip your jump stitches and you will avoid inadvertantly cutting any threads close to the design. As other mentioned Fray Check is good, too.

I use Fray Block on a lot of my embroidery at beginning & end of design--especially alphabets.
