Lock Stitched

I always have a problem with lock stitches on satin, mostly on fonts, Some logos the letters are very far apart so you have to trim each letter and lock it, but whenever I lock it you can see where the logo is. I always try to do it at either the end of the satin stitch because I think it hides it best, but when your letters are small a find, when it does the extra stitches to lock it's just visible and, makes it a bit kind of messy to me. And I don't like it. My options for lock stitches are Basic, Line, Diamond, and triangle. What I normally do is a Basic Start lock and a Line End lock. I've just been self-taught and I wish I was taught properly how to do embroidery and I have been doing it for over 9 years. Any links or videos on anything as well that might help me out would be greatly appreciated. I use DGML by Pulse Ver 14.

Markus How about moving the end point a few rows of stitches before the end you have now? I think the lock stitch would then be hidden within the letter and not stick out. OR you could keep as you are but turn off automatic lock and do them by hand with manual stitches?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

I can't seem to figure out how to edit the original post... I just had a type where it says "but whenever I lock it you can see where the logos is" should be "...where the lock is"
