We do a lot of personalization on items. Very Basic First Name, Last Name, maybe a department
The current setup we have is using the BLOCK NEW font. the text size can be between .30in to .18in depending on the name.
I notice some letter collapse in a, e, b, d, etc.)
Any suggestion on adjustments we can make to help that look cleaner or is there another better digitized font we can use/download that looks just like BLOCK NEW?
I have seen some items from competing shops and their font is ever so slightly different, so I am looking for some info!

You might try 60wt thread and a 65/9 needle, or 75wt thread and a 60/8 needle. Going to a thinner thread you may need to increase the density, you may also need to adjust pull comp. Also try experimenting with density. I don't know if you use the .4 or the 63.5 or?? Just lessening/reducing the density a little might help if you're using 40wt thread.

This is very helpful. I might be crazy or maybe I do not know how to locate it but I can not find the BREAKUP command nor does that shortcut work.
I have DG 16 but maybe I need a different version?
Attached is what I am seeing in my program
The Combine and Breakup tool are available at the Illustrator Extreme level and above.
.
If the Breakup tool is not available to you, I have another idea on how to move the dot above the "i." I see that the Vertex Select tool (Shortcut - N) is available to you.
.
Do the same steps: break the text into segments, then select the letter "i" or "j." Now, choose the Vertex Select tool (N). Use this tool to select the ENTIRE dot above the "i." Only now you are selecting not the object itself, but the nodes. So, hold down the left mouse button and select all the nodes of the dot in the letter "i." The object's node color will change from red to yellow. Using Vertex Select, you can move the entire object wherever you need.
.
However, with this method, you won’t be able to remove the jump stitch if there is one, meaning you won’t be able to add a trim.
