Hello all,
Been a long time reader and decided to post because I have been having a long time issue with puckering. We have a Chinese embroidery machine (it sucks), but we have to make do with what we have. Almost every single design we do puckers and it's hurting my business. We have tried almost everything to prevent puckering all from getting thicker backings, mighty hoop, loosening bobbing tension, switching digitizers, and we are still getting puckering.
We have a potential big job in April and I want to fix this as soon as I can. We will be getting about 290 button down shirts that are 60/40 cotton/poly. Initially the design was about 31,000 stitches, but we got it down to about 23000. This will be going on the left chest. Any tips on what type of backing I should use? This is a very big order and I don't want to mess it up. Any tips?
Thanks,
Mike
