A few useful answers

What content should I include?

Use up to four lines. Letters become a grid of full crosses.

How do I keep the text readable?

Enlarge small lettering until counters and accents remain visible. The preview shows the actual stitch cells.

What changes with the fabric count?

Changing fabric count changes the finished dimensions without adding stitches to the lettering.
