I am embroidering on a cotton thin T-Shirt

Coach,

My suggestion is for you to take the Melco training. You will learn a lot, everything you need to know about your embroidery machine. Of course you will need to practice after that. This has been emphasized many times in this board.

Coach,

You cannot assume that what you are seeing is "poor digitizing", in your specific case. The gaps in this design may not be from poor digitizing. It is more probable that it is a loss of or a corruption of file information that is taking place in the "conversion" process from an Expanded(EXP, DST, etc) file format taking place when you do a "wireframe" conversion to it.

This is always an issue when converting to wireframe. It is also why I advise folks to only wireframe just the portion of the design they need to edit and not the entire design. Fill patterns or other key aesthetic features of designs can be drasticly altered when converting to wireframe. It does make the elements eaiser to edit in wireframe, but beware of the consequences involved.

I have looked at a lot of designs sent in CND file format and most of them just look like wireframed DST or EXP files.

To create a fill, just use one of your "Complex fill tools". Go into your help section and watch some of the video clips in Ver 9 to see how to do this....

Oh my gosh there really are video clips there. I was running the v9 sw on my Vista machine and when I clicked no video showed up.. Thank Thank Thank you...... Oh by the way I had to purchase a new XP machine.. But it Rocks!!

[Coach]

HMMM! I got one to open but so far the Walk Stitch Video and Open Graphics Windows Pop Open a window , but no Movie.. Is this a known bug?

Right click on the 3D icon and make sure Hardware Acceleration is turned off....ie...unchecked. Amaya and Design Shop functions do not like having this feature turned on...ie...checked. Then try the video clips again.

If you cannot view some of the videos, it is likely that you need to update your Adobe Flash video player to the current version.

I believe the link to it is

Hope this helps.
