10/28/2016 Stitchout or Sewing Problem Modified File ~ The same letters that have been resized, so the embroidery software converted the satin stitches to a standard fill stitch. Shifting while stitching– So many things can cause your item to shift while stitching. Here are a few things to consider: Hoop won’t tighten enough, so the stabilizer and item slowly started coming out of hoop while stitching SOLVE by making sure hoop is tight enough before starting, or if the hoop is as tight as it can go and your stabilizer still "slips", you can put double sided tape on the inside of either the inside or outside hoop to help it have more "grip". Sometimes something will prevent your hoop from moving the full range that it's supposed to while it's stitching SOLVE by making sure your sewing area is free of objects that could be in the way of your hoop while your item is stitching. Item is not hooped, only stabilizer is hooped and the item shifts while being stitched SOLVE by using a basting stitch to attach your item to the stabilizer before stitching your design. Sparse stitching – too much space between stitches. This problem could be caused by a few different things or combination of things. Below are some items to consider. Did you resize the design? If so, this could be the problem. Try test stitching the design in its original form to see if there’s a problem. Is the item stabilized properly? If not, this can cause lots of different problems.

10/28/2016 Stitchout or Sewing Problem stabilizer or switching to a heavier or cutaway stabilizer. Are you stitching on an item with nap or texture? If so, make sure you use a solvy wash away topping on top to help keep the nap or texture pushed down so that the stitches look better. <strong>Embroidery</strong> Software Depending on the embroidery program that you use and the settings you have applied, your software may automatically change the embroidery design when you open it in your software. Below are just a few of the settings/changes that your software could be automatically applying to designs: Remove short stitches this setting will remove stitches that are shorter than the setting that is applied Convert jump stitches to running stitches this setting will convert jumps that are longer/shorter than a certain length to running stitches Convert satin stitches to fill stitches some programs make this change automatically and don't have a setting that you can adjust and some will let you determine the widest width to allow a satin stitch to be before converting it to a fill stitch ALWAYS REMEMBER: There are so many variables with every stitch out that when problems arise, you have to be an investigator to determine what part of the process went wrong. These tips are meant to help you along the way :) Click HERE to see our Tips & Tricks document that has a ton of information! https://www.akdesignsboutique.com/pages/StitchoutorSewingProblem.html 5/7
