Pattiann is right, this is exactly what the problem is. You can test it by changing the size of your hoop (that won't help you with taking it to your machine, it still won't work) and requesting those designs. If the photo shows up, that is what the problem is. Check into the Download Designs...

Hello Barbara! Thanks for your input on my bobbin statement. I had noted in my needles blog that machines which sew and embroider 'would' have two bobbin cases. It is explained more in the blog but your machine which does dual duty, only had one. Thanks for that information! I have corrected...

LaRue- We all felt that same way at one time or another! Overwhelmed, over informed and lacking in time! Your blog is really interesting and I know people are going to enjoy each and every one of them. Just a quick suggestion: At the top of your post in this forum there is a button called "Favorites...

By using the...

I can not stress enough the fact ALWAYS,ALWAYS ,ALWAYS do test sew outs for any type of fabric. It is the best way to tell what stabilizers you need for that particular item.Some may need two,three even more .I never do any embroidery without WSS on the top.It just makes every project come out nicer...

My goodness,I just realized you had two types of fabric you are using here.Silly me !I would say again for the cotton,what are you using for stabilizer's? Cotton is a very light weight fabric,so dense stitches are likely to pucker it. I just thought of something else as well,did you re-size the design...
