Quick Tip: Size DOES Matter!
Small text and details are the most difficult thing to deal with when it comes to embroidery. We can embroider almost anything however there are some limitations. I know that often times you want to say as much as possible but sometimes less is more. Some people will want to put a whole paragraph worth of words in a small left chest design and that just isn't possible. It takes two needle penetrations to make one stitch so size does indeed matter. The easiest way to tell if the amount of text you want can be embroidered in the space you want, is to try writing it with a crayon. If you can accomplish it with a crayon, chances are it can be embroidered.
