- A good way to avoid jump stitches is to
hide the travelling stitch lines. This is achieved by hiding the
travelling stitches between digitized objects. It is always a good
idea make a plan of the sequence of your digitizing.
|
- Jump stitches on a design are sometimes a
nuisance. There are times that these jumps are unavoidable. If you
use an auto-digitizing program, you will be at the mercy of the
software . It is preferable to manually punch your design to
minimize or avoid jump stitches and to produce a higher quality
design.
|
- When digitizing a design, be friendly
towards your embroidery machine. A design that jumps up and down
and from left to right will put a great deal of stress on a
machine. Try to plan your digitizing to travel smoothly from
one section to the next.
|
- Practice and experience is the key factor
differentiating the digitizing of a good or an excellent design.
Keep a record of all your settings, pull compensation, stitch
density, underlay used, etc.
