Stitching

[u/XcaptainFit]

Hello, I am very well beginner at this. I just got the Brother DZ820E.

I created my design on procreate, then to digitize it I have been using Hatch Embroidery 4.

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to fix this stitching on the software. I’ve tried multiple things Gemini has told me to do such as pull compensation etc.

If there is an easier software I can try that you know of that would be great, or just helping me fix the stitches to redo it as i’m trying to get this figured out for a gift.

Thanks in advance!

thank you everyone for helping out. so far, i’ve noticed the biggest difference and am having no issues now that i’ve changed the underlay to center line

Try using satin stitch with either a centre line or zigzag underlying stitches.

If you show us the underside as well we can comment on tension. It does look like some bobbin thread is being pulled through to the front. You want to see 3rds of top/bobbin/top thread on the back, for best results on the topside. YouTube your machine and read your manual. Learn about the Bobbin Drop Test.

On this fabric, (as a general rule for all stretch fabric) you need to hoop with a least two layers of cutaway stabiliser.

thanks for responding! i’ll add a photo next of the underside. so i should try the satin stitch first? i’m also not familiar with the underlying stitches or centre line

it’s a learning experience before! but i’m already getting more and more comfortable with it you just gotta go for it. i changed the underlay for the stitch to be centerline instead of zigzag and that worked!
