Tips and Techniques
This software allows you to create a wide variety of embroidery patterns and supports wider ranges for the setting of the sewing attributes (thread density, sewing pitch, etc.). However, the final result also depends on your particular embroidery machine model. We recommend that you make a trial sewing sample with your sewing data before sewing on the final material. Remember to sew your trial sample on the same type of fabric as your final material and to use the same needle and the same machine embroidery thread.
Sewing Direction
In order to limit pulling or puckering, select a stitch direction perpendicular to the larger edge of the area.
Pulling or puckering more likely to occur | Pulling or puckering less likely to occur |
Sewing Order
After creating an embroidery pattern made of several different parts, be sure to check the sewing order and correct it if necessary.
The default sewing order is the order in which the elements are drawn.
Be careful when changing the sewing order since overlapping areas may be incorrectly positioned.
Sewing Wide Areas
•For best sewing results, set Under sewing to On when sewing wide regions. c For more details, refer to “Under sewing” on page 69.
•Changing the Sewing Direction setting prevents
•When embroidering, use stabilizer material specifically for embroidering. Always use stabilizer material when embroidering lightweight or stretch fabrics, otherwise the needle may bend or break, the stitching may pull and pucker, or the pattern may become misaligned.
•When satin stitching is sewn in a wide area, the stitched area may shrink after sewing, depending on the material and the type of thread used. If this happens, switch to this alternate method: Select the fill stitch and use stabilizer material on the reverse side of the fabric.
