10/28/2016 Stitchout or Sewing Problem Tearaway • Nonwashable fabric • Woven fabric [including denim and canvas] • Fabric that is not stretchy • Fabric without much "give" • Medium/thick fabric o Click HERE to see our Supply Catalog that will help guide you to the correct stabilizer for your next project. Remember that all designs are not for all projects. Some designs are too narrow or skinny for plush items like fleece & minky blankets Some designs are too dense and large for thin & stretchy knits Some design elements are complex and are “lost” on fabrics that are too busy or are too plush Tips: Use your embroidery software to make adjustments Make the letters or designs more bold or thick Make letters or designs less dense Remember to always test stitch once you've made any adjustments to ensure that it will stitch properly. Registration Issues Are your outlines not lining up with your fill? Stabilize, stabilize, stabilize…really, this is more important than most realize The problem that you're having is probably not a design flaw, it’s usually a part of the design that pulls the thread a little more than your item can handle, which means that a little more stabilizer will fix it. We strive to account for some of this while digitizing, but we can only do so much because if someone has properly stabilized their item, they will have the opposite problem [the fill will be outside the outline]. Resizing Designs Please keep in mind that just because your embroidery software will allow you to resize a design to half its size does not mean that it will stitch well. Please keep all of points below in mind when resizing designs. https://www.akdesignsboutique.com/pages/StitchoutorSewingProblem.html 2/7
10/28/2016 Stitchout or Sewing Problem Since resizing a design is in essence creating a new design that hasn't been tested yet, you'll want to run a test stitch before you stitch it on something important. All designs resize differently and all software resizes differently, so the 20% rule is just a guideline. Any time you are resizing or editing designs, ensure that you are working with a copy so that you don’t modify the original design. Resizing can cause bird's nests, thread breaks & needle breaks. Some embroidery software programs will convert jump stitches to running stitches with slight resizing. Wide, Satin Column Stitches Consider the items below when working with designs with wide, satin column stitches [like the large wide satin letters in the photos]: Most embroidery software programs will convert the wide, satin column stitches to regular or fill stitches if resized or modified in any way. If you have resized or modified the letters in any way and are having problems with your stitchouts or are not happy with the quality, please test stitch one of the letters without resizing or modifying [download the set again for the original if necessary] to see the difference in stitch quality. Keep in mind that we cannot guarantee the quality of designs that are modified (including resizing). If you have problems with the original designs we will assist you in solving the problem. Please contact us if the size that you require is not available and we'll do what we can to make a set that size.
