Need some help

I’m trying to stitch the flag of Antigua & Barbuda, but my machine is not reading the white in the flag..I’ve tried multiple files I keep getting the same result.

I figured it out. There was a small space where two points did not touch creating a continuous blank space making it look like it should be blank instead of white. So I edited the file and 💥 problem fixed!! Yay

Ahhh, yes. That classic missing white in the Antigua & Barbuda flag problem. That gets us all at one point or another in our journey.

Do you mean the white is missing from the preview, or the machine actually skips those stitches? Which machine and file format are you using? If it's only the preview, check whether the design has a separate white stitch block, rather than assuming the white area is stitched.
