  • thread buildup on back of fabric

    Hi-
    I am having a problem and hope someone can help. I am sewing a name on a stuffed animal ear and there is a lot of thread buildup on the bobbin side of the stitching. It's not a birds nest per se---just very thick and puffy looking.

    Here's the specs of what I am currently using:

    Madeira Polyneon thread for the top thread and the same thread on the bobbin (bobbin wound using a brother bobbin winder)
    The lettering is Athletic Swoosh with the following settings:
    letter height 0.5"
    letter width 100%
    stitch length 25 pt
    Column:
    stitch type satin
    density 4
    column width/pull comp 105%
    min width 10
    underlay:
    edgewalk
    30pt
    width 70%

    Any suggestions as to how to get the bobbin side stitching flat as opposed to so lumpy? The stitching on the bobbin side will be visible on the finished product so I need it to look as much like the front stitching as possible.
    Many thanks!
