  • column stitches pulling and puckering

    Dear List,
    I have been asked to digitize and stitch a corporate logo that is very simple but I can't get it to stop puckering. The lettering is split into two colors. Most of the letters are column stitches but when stitched the satin column pull across the shirt. I have used the following:
    Zigzag underlay that I eventually changed to center walk and edge walk. That helped alot.
    I have used one layer of cutaway, 2 layers of cutaway and one layer of nylon mesh and tearaway, and two alternating layers of nylon mesh. I still get puckers on the poly/cotton dress shirt. Can anyone help?

    Hi Margaret. This sounds like the evil villian, Auto. Try switching to standard feed, and playing with a 3, 4, 5 and 6 setting. Also try slowing it down a tad to around 1,000.

    HTH,
    Judy
