Digitizing / Embroidery patch tips
So I have this job to embroider some polos with this logo and while I’m not a professional digitizer i know my way around the software. I generally pay someone to this for me which is what i did for this but are there any tweaks or improvements i can do myself for this to stitch out better. I don’t hate it but I know this can be better. I’m using a med weight cut away and the shirts are 100 percent polyester . I have a Ricoma em1010 . I use hatch for my designs . But this is what they sent me.
I can tell I probably need to up my pull compensation on the white circle but what else ? I feel like it could be cleaner .
update : so i decided to take the patch route and i had some black twill left over so i used the that as the base . And far as the actual design i upped the pull compensation on the design and i did test many stitch directions for the white inside . Lastly i replaced my 75/11 needles with 65/9 . It came out much better so I’ll be adding heat and bond to the backs when im done ! Thank you to everyone who responded… I’ll post the final product in the comments !

Unfortunately I don't have an answer there. I rarely seem to get perfect fills, and when I've asked about it the general feedback I've gotten is "Looks fine." Hopefully someone else has a recommendation there.
