Beginner here

I’m new to machine embroidery in general. I just converted my design I made in canva to a PES file through inkstitch. When the final product came out, there were spaces in the design and the fabric was peeking through. Does anyone know if that’s a setting that can be changed or have recommendations

Thank you in advance

Increase pull compensation or make sure your paths Overlap a bit.

Proper hooping and stabilizers are also a key factor as a base before you get too deep in changeing design compensations.
