How To Tuft Small Font?

1, I outline with one strand of yarn , slow my gun all the way down ,then fill in with two strands.

2, I work one letter at a time and clean them up on frame .

3,  I just used the gun and did the smallest bits first like the inner black areas. Mostly was difficult carving. The alternative i think is punch needle by hand, there is also a loop pile manual tool, but you'd likely need to cut every strand to make it cut instead of loop.

4, Make it the same width on every letter. Carve patiently, think of yourself as a yarn surgeon.

5, Good carving should help make the letters stand out more. Taking it slow with scissors should help. But yeah small letters are difficult to do.

6, Honestly, as long as the yarn in the lettering’s OK (which again, it looks to me), you can make it stand out by carving/trimming away the bits of surrounding color.
