Brittany. We have all been there. Keep trucking. Why would you not use stabilizer for test runs? When testing, create the same environment as the final run. Same material, needle and backing. I would use min 2 sheets of cutaway backing. Hopefully mesh if going on a polo. Keep old shirts on hand for this purpose. Also, the machine is cutting the corners because the stitch length is too long for that font. Look into the setting and find out what it is. You can lower it to about 0.5mm.
Use a ballpoint needle and 60 wt. thread and using some water soluable on top. I use three sheets of no show stabilizer. on the back. I alternate each piece. I saw this on a video. I also think your issues may be when you changed the size of the embroidery. It might help to start from the beginning. I wish you luck. I have been there several times. Sometimes it is best to get it digitized. I learned this the hard way. You are awesome! Don't give up.
Girl I feel your struggle I’ve been working on my sublimation printer. Trying to do a nozzle check. I think I pray 🙏 I think it’s unclogged. Happened at the end of your video. I was getting frustrated along with you. Wanting to give up. Almost all my lines are perfect. This is my fault I hardly sublimate any more. So I don’t use my printer much. Good luck 🍀 ❤
I just stitched a logo for an organization with small lettering and a border around the letters. I sent the customer a sample with and without the border and asked them to decide. I used the exact material but had to create four samples. It is very tricky to get the correct stabilizer, needle, speed, and tension for logos with small lettering.
So the shifting issues, combined with the puckering on the tablecloth, would indicate to me that you aren't stabilising it well enough! If you can, ask for a stitch out from the digitiser to check just to see if it is possible to get this stitched out correctly. Also, regarding the red thread, you can try a couple things to isolate whether it's a problem with the red thread itself, the needle, or something odd with that specific needle on the machine. You could switch the red spool to another position on the machine, you could try a new needle, just in case it's a bad one, or you could try a different colour thread in the same position your red was in. I really would try stabilising better and trying it with a different colour so that you can resolve the stitch out issues without having to deal with what the red is doing on top of it!
Clean the machine. Change needles - even if they were just changed. Rethread from the beginning. Change the bobbin. Remove the design from your machine and reinstall. Use a water soluble topper. Use a good stabilizer under. In other words, start completely fresh. Many times that will fix the problem.
I would get it redigitized by someone else. Even if your customer doesn’t pay for it, you’ll learn from it. Tell them about your embroidery problems and ask them if they can solve it.
Oops! You already went smaller. I wish I had time to redo the font for you. I use older software called Fancy Works. I also use Embrilliance free version, but Fancy Works lets me make tiny adjustments to density, underlay, etc.
@@megalesimes agree that's what I told the customer so I just wanted to make sure I wasn't losing my mind. I mean a new/better digitized image could help.
I am intrigued by the problems you're having with that logo. is there any chance we can connect by email for you to send it to me? Wait... .... what stabiliser are you putting on the back of the sheet? it looks like the embroidery is "creeping" as it stitches. I also have some thoughts on the thread shredding problem on the red, and would be interested in some close up photos of the stitching?
Hey Britany. What if you turn off your machine and turn it back on. This way, your machine can recalibrate. Then try a different needle size, like the 65/9. Please let me know if that works. Thanks!
This is not your fault, small letters, with a outline (what a crazy idea they have). That's way too many problems for only 2 shirts. When I have customers who wants crazy things and I know the outcome will be sloppy, I just refused to do it. How many hours have you spend already for that order ? Just tell them sorry, here is a picture of the final result, I refuse to stitch it because it doesn't reflect my quality of work, design need to be redigitized...

I know it is frustrating. So sorry you have to go through it. We all learning from unexpected issues. Does looks bad

thanks and good luck with your sublimation printer, sometimes crafting really like to keep us on our toes haha
Also make sure you use correct needle
Id suggest using the correct backing then use a 60 needle to really determine if there’s an issue or not.

I think it's the digitizing.

I find using outlined fonts that are smaller, are usually a problem. I would run a sample without the outline.

Hang in there, we all have those days.
@@bbramazab6030 we sure do, that's why with this order I walked away
Come on everyone, help Brittany hit that 3k subscribers. I love her channel.
@@marilenecorbett2713 aww thank you, getting closer and closer with each upload.
Change to a 60 wt thread on top (bobbin wt), and a size 9 or 10 needle. I would not use an underlay on the lettering.

The letters are already small and on top of that it’s an outline too, those 2 things don’t go together

@@brittanybriggs3806 The logo seems ok, just need the font tweaked a bit. What font is it & what size? I can try to redo for you (I don't charge).
my suggestion is take to another digitizer to do it over
You need to use stabilizer
I think when you made it taller it changed the digitizing so it won’t look right
Brittany did you use 60wg thread and 65/11 needle??
@@marilenecorbett2713 I did try but it didn't make a difference. I just didn't film it

Thanks for the tip!
What size needle and thread are you using? May want to go with a 65/9 needle and 60wt thread for small letters.
@@beth6085 in this video I only show 75 thread/75 needle but I've done 65 thread/65 needle and it looks just as bad.
It's frustrating that they won't hear you about the style of font. It wouldn't have to be this hard for you. 😔
try water stabilizer on top
Slow down the speed. Like WAY down.
You shouldn’t have to clean up much if it’s digitized correct.
and to be honest this will be a bugger of an image
Do you do your own digitizing?
@@syltoy2745 only letters/words but logos I have someone do them

This logo had been done before by her and had been ok.
Not sure why YT suggested this video. More drama acting than instructional. Guess the followers like this stuff.
Not meant to be instructional, just shows the frustrations that can & do happen when embroidering, so we are aware that we are not alone!
@@margecampbell4667 perfectly said ☺️
Slow down your machine.
