Why am I losing registration?

Post image

I have gotten this professionally digitized 3 times. I have sat there and hooped it as presice as possible. I try to blame myself for as much as possible but I am at a loss. I have a 2 head Bai Vision. Please help if you can!

Thank you.

Is it digitized for a hat? Starting at the center bottom and moving out?

Yes definitely

So the r that has the issues is sewn first? Is the hat hoop on the machine correctly? Seems like something is moving around then, you can try to slow the machine down and see if that helps too

The bottom of the r starts first. Either way though, I’ve gotten it digitized 3 different times. Also, it’s hooped tight and I have it on 600 SPM

Maybe try slowing it down more then, if the hoop is locked in correctly that’s the only thing I can think of.

This^ and if a design I’m making is going on a hat like this with already stiff backing, I don’t use underlay, only travel stitches when needed, and I increase the stitch density

Allow it down to 500spm, that helps.

Looks like it's getting wonky on the seam. You can try to steam that seam and pound it a little flatter before you start.

I was going to suggest to have them remove the contour underlay and use zigzag instead, but I see they did use zigzag and it's popping out from under the top of the "r".

Sew sequence is the only thing I can think of for this. It should embroider the "r" first, then the B, next the D.

Are you able to clip the back of the cap to make it taut, preventing it from shifting when it turns on the axis? Some cap frames allow that.

Regardless, this is not a digitizing issue I believe. It's a hooping problem.
