Why Is My Embroidery Puckering and How Do I Fix It?
Why is my embroidery puckering? This is one of the most common questions in embroidery production. The fabric bunches and wrinkles around the design. The logo shape distorts. The garment looks damaged rather than decorated and it happened during a normal production run with no obvious errors. Puckering is not random and it is not […]
Too Many Trims in Your Embroidery Design? Here Is Why and How to Fix It
If your embroidery machine stops constantly to trim thread between elements, your digitizing file has too many jump stitches. Every trim corresponds to one jump stitch.
