Hi
If you can find a piece of scrap material similar to what you have to embroider on try experimenting on that. Try your local fabric store maybe for a remnant or a thrift shop for fabric to play with. It is worth a few test runs to get good results before running an actual garment. Make sure you have new needles in for best result, probably I would use a 70 sharp. I also would use 2 layers of a cutaway backing and possibly solvy on top depending on how fine the lettering or design is. Hope this helps
