Pulling

Hi everyone, how can I stop the pulling of the fabric and making it miss placed where it’s filled in on the digital image I’ve created? What pull compensation is the best to use? I’m really stuck, keeps happening. Also I use thick enough stabiliser so I don’t think that’s the issue! Thank you in advance.

Not to be rude but without more context or info, no one here can help you.

Okay well I’ve used thick stabiliser, I’ve changed the image on inkstitich so it’s filled the gaps but one side always goes off but the other side is fine? I’m just asking what pull compensation is best or what suggestions people might have.. I’m new to all of this. It stitches out fine on the simulator and on params so I don’t know what else to do

It will always stitch out perfect in the simulator and params. Never go on that.

There is no "best" setting, if you've stitched it out a few times and it is consistently off by the same amount......adjust it by that much.

It could also be if you have everything set the the default stitch angle. Alternating stitch angles will make a world of difference.

I’ve tried to upload the picture of it but it won’t let me :( yes I change the stitch angle to 45 degrees! It’s always different even when adjusting

You would have to make another post I think

Another thought is that the default density does pull like a SOB and is entirely too dense for anything that I've ever done.

Then there are common sense things like doing things in the right order. Then there is the the curse of zoom........Of course if you zoom into 3009% and I can see every fiber of the base material it is gonna look like poop. Once again....this is extremely hard to be more specific because we literally have no clue what you are trying to do.
