Help me out, please?
I've run across something I've never experienced before and I'm lost trying to figure out the cause and the fix for it.
I digitized a lettering design using Embird(haven't learned Design Shop yet). The letters were done manually by tracing the shape of each letter and filled with a column stitch. The on screen perview looks fine, I saved the design as an EXP format, watched it stitch in the sewing simulator with it set to stop at each jump or trim, and no problems, everything looks perfectly normal.
I brought the design into Design Shop, converted it to OFM, det the hoop size and sent it to OS.
Loaded the design to the machine and, Hmm, something is very wrong, mostly with the underlay.
The design starts stitching with a normal walk stitch, runs for 20 stitches or so jumps about 12 stitches forward and stops with a bobbin break message. No break, and I have to back the machine up to the last stitch actually stitches and restart the machine. This annoying sequence repeats itself every 20 stitches or so, until the underlay is finished on the letter, then it stitches the column stitch without trouble. Repeat for each of the letters in the design.
It's absoulutely maddening. I was able to get the design finished with a lot of hair pulling, and a bit of cussing, but I've never seen anything like this happen before. It almost seems as if the is a jump/stop in the stitching that doesn't show up in either the Embird or Design Shop software.
If anybody is willing to look at the design please let me know.
