So True Lynn - You will have no surprises if you do that test sew out. "There are two types of embroiderers, ones who do test stitches, and those who wish they did." I don't know who said it, but they said a lot in a few words! Pat

Interesting name - flying M creations! We all run into different issues from time to time. And this one is interesting. I think a photo of your problem would help to determine what the issue might be. If I understand you correctly, the design does not sew correctly and has gaps. Sweatshirts generally...

Thank you, Marge! I do have a tendancy to think all machines work like my BabyLock. I appreciate you for adding info that I could have missed. Pat, The Avid Embroiderer

Pattiann's information is good but it does have some limitations. For instance, it does not address the weight of the material which is a major consideration for stabilizers. Judy is correct, you need both an over the top and under the bottom stabilizers. Water soluble stabilizers (wss) are always...

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...

Well, I guess my first question ,is what are you using for stabilizers? Are you hooping it or are you going outside the hoop? If it were me I would use a sticky on the hoop,then an iron on,light tack tear away on the back of the sweatshirt.Then lay it on the sticky,and embroider it out side the hoop...

I don't have a brand, but I really enjoy using denim and canvas like materials. They are easy to use because they hold their shape; they don't need a lot of stabilizer, just something to keep it in place, and they have great coloration for sharpness of design. I often use them for my 'test...
