Here are some general pull compensation guidelines. Experimentation with different fabrics is recommended. Object Width Percentage Based Pull Comp. Actual Value Based Pull Comp. 1mm satin 110 -130% 0.2 - 0.4mm 4mm satin 105 - 115% 0.17 - 0.25mm 7mm satin 7mm fill 40mm + fill 103 - 110% 103 - 110% 100 - 103% 0.17 - 0.25mm 0.17 - 0.25mm 0.17 - 0.25mm CAUTION Be careful not to add too much pull compensation to small lettering or objects. If you do, the letters can become too fat and the space in between the letters starts to disappear. The result is that the letters don't look very clear. This has too much pull compensation This has just enough pull compensation to keep the letters bold but not so much that it closed up. Page 16
Spacing Space is an extremely important element to consider when creating quality embroidery. Where a space is desired, it is necessary to allow at least 1mm of distance between each column of embroidery. If two columns are placed side by side with insufficient space, the result can actually cut the material or leave the embroidery looking solid, with no definition. The space within an embroidery object must also be considered. Using the letter 'O' as an example, if the inside or hole in the letter is too small, the inside of theletter may close up. In this case, slight adjustments to the dimensions of the letter would be necessary. Too much space between two embroidery objects can also be a problem when trims are unwanted. Maintaining a consistent distance between objects ensuressmooth machine operation and reduces theappearance ofconnections. This idea is explained more thoroughly later in this unit under Tie Offs and Trims. Corners The importance of a clean looking corner in embroidery can never be underestimated. There are three basic ways to turn the same corner. The standard method (A) to turn a corner in embroidery requires at least three sets of points to suit the corner. The use of short stitches (D) allows less stitching on the inside of the corner to avoid thread breaks and sewing problems while ensuring enough stitches on the outside edge to create a clean and consistent line. Example (E) shows a corner without short stitches. Note the excessive density on the inside. The second method (B) is called a capped corner, and is formed by breaking the corner into pieces that all sew at the same angle. This type of corner works well for large, sharp corners as they produce fewer stitches. The third method (C) to turn a corner is called a mitred corner. In this case, the corner is split into two segments that overlap each other in the center. This method works well for corners between 75 and 90 degrees, and also on objects that must appear as if the stitch angle is turning. Connections Page 17
