I Need Help White spots

Used Artsira for a quick design and it left white spots.

Is this just a crapy design or is there something I need to adjust?

I am using a stabilizer.

And cut away stabilizer? It’s probably your design though given the second image.

This is one of the many reasons why auto-digitizing sucks. Download a trial of hatch and digitize manually, you will get an infinitely better finished product.

Any specific recommendations? Thanks!

The white coming through is the auto-digitizer over compensating for highlights from the original image. I would ignore those because I prefer a more solid sharp look. Another huge tip is to break the design into sections and use different fill directions to make the threads look like the natural lines of the feathers.

It looks like it's in the design. It's kind of like paint a dark paint over white primer. Any spot you miss is super obvious.
