My friend's logo has long, thin letters with thin black outlining. I'm spending almost as much time trimming it as I did stitching it, even though I tried to do most of it as it went along. :-)
So I started digging around to learn more about jump stitches and digitizing and stuff like that.
I noticed that a lot of people leave those connecting stitches and don't trim them. Pretty much every website I've pulled up with examples -- both people who are digitizing and those who are doing the embroidery -- have examples that have at least some letters that still have those jump stitches.
Is there some reason not to trim them?
