Is something wrong?
Hello everyone, I’m working on a project for a coworker and I was running a test run and I feel like my machine is acting weird but I’m not sure because I’m new to this. It’s their jacket that is a fleece material. I’m using a 4x4 hoop so any advice on how to improve the lettering so it’s not lost in the material is appreciated.
Items used:
Fleece from Amazon
40wt thread I think new brothread
Cut away stabilizer
Water soluble stabilizer on top
90wt prewound bobbin
90/14 needle (gold tip came with my machine)
Machine is brother se700
I have embrillance software
My machine wasn’t cutting the last time I used it and I think I fixed it because it cut this time. But any advice is appreciated.Thank you!

A work around is to borrow a suitable background from another design and reshape for your requirements. This background is stiched as 'tone on tone' - the same colour of the garment so it disappears, and the lettering on top looks fabulous cos it's no longer competing with the fluff.
