One of the challenge in digitizing: Embroidering small letters

The term "small embroidery font" refers to very small fonts used in embroidery, typically for embroidery badges or patches. These fonts are difficult to handle because when reducing the font size, the spacing between letters becomes very small, making it difficult to display and distinguish them clearly.

What factors need to be considered when using small fonts?

When using small fonts, various factors need to be considered, including the material used, the font, the number and size of the letters. Different types of fabrics have different requirements for font size. Smaller fonts may be difficult to display clearly on soft fabrics, while larger fonts may be used on harder fabrics. In addition, font selection is also important, as some fonts may become difficult to recognize when scaled down, while others may be more suitable for embroidery. Finally, the number and size of letters also need to be considered because the spacing between letters must be large enough to ensure that the letters are visible.

What problems may arise when embroidering small fonts?

a. If too many stitches are used in the same place, bird's nests may be produced, causing the thread to become trapped.

b.  The more stitches used, the smaller the stitch becomes, making it difficult to read the embroidery. Therefore, caution is needed when selecting fabric types, especially for cotton and other fabrics that shrink easily, as this problem can become worse.

c. When embroidering a circle or other design that requires a large number of small stitches, it is possible to leave a hole in the fabric, so special care is required.

When embroidering small letters, it is important to pay attention to the above-mentioned issues. If these problems arise after sewing out, appropriate modifications will be necessary.
