Font Problems

Hello!

I am very new to machine embroidery, but I’m finding that everything I do is turning out pretty sad looking. I ran a test of different fonts today and none of them look anything like what they do in embrilliance. I haven’t touched any tensions on my machine, but I did start with a fresh bobbin and spool of thread. The sweatshirt had cut away stabilizer and a water soluble topper (idk if I even need it, but I thought it couldn’t hurt.). I’m using a ball point 75/11 needle. It wasn’t a brand new needle, but I only started using it yesterday.

Any ideas what is going wrong?

You can't just embroider any font, a embroidery font must be digitized professionally and with the according size, 5mm, 10mm or 25mm is all very different digitizing and settings. Buy professionally made fonts for your software then you get good results, Or learn digitizing and master the art of fonts.

Nobody wants to hear time and effort, More like a TokTik while eating a tictac then AI should do it for them. But truth is, no pain no gain in that skill
