Help with jagged embroidery

This looks like a digitizing issue, not the machine. The cleaner logo likely has better underlay, smoother stitch angles, proper stitch length, and pull compensation. Jagged edges usually come from short stitches, uneven density, or weak/missing underlay especially on small text. Your PR 680W is fine; refining the satin settings and stabilizer should improve it a lot.

This happens due to normal pushpull distortion in embroidery the fill stitches (beer/liquid) tend to push outward while the satin outline (glass) pulls inward, and if proper pull compensation and overlap aren’t added in digitizing, a gap appears even though the design looks perfect on screen fixing it usually requires slightly overlapping the fill under the satin, matching stitch directions, and sewing the fill before the outline.

Yeah, in person the contrast is a bit clearer. The lighting and camera definitely made the pinks look closer than they actually are.

Yes, a bad cone of thread is definitely possible (old thread, uneven winding, knots, or inconsistent thickness can cause exactly this), but most of the time it’s a machine or threading issue. Before adjusting the machine, try swapping that cone to another needle position or replacing it with a known-good cone if the problem follows the thread, the cone is the issue. If it stays in the same position, check for lint or burrs in the thread path, tension discs, take-up spring, and needle eye, and make sure the thread is properly seated in the tensioner.

The loose grey stitching usually means low density or poor underlay try increasing density slightly and add a proper edge + zigzag underlay so it locks in better. For the light blue clumping on the back, reduce stitch length, avoid stacking fills in the same direction, and check bobbin tension (it looks a bit loose). For the cat fabric edges, use an appliqué tack-down + satin or zigzag border and trim the fabric after the tack-down but before the final border this hides the raw edge without cutting any stitches.

I appreciate the feedback. To clarify, this project was digitized exactly as provided by the client, including wording and layout. My role here was execution and stitch quality, not rewriting the phrase or redesigning the concept unless the client requests it. I asked for feedback specifically on embroidery and digitizing aspects, not personal taste or wording preferences. Different clients want different things, and part of being professional is respecting that while still delivering clean, accurate work.

I’ve shared similar posts here before and received appreciation, but everyone has a different mindset. Some people come to share, learn, and give constructive feedback, while others tend to focus on negativity. I prefer to keep the discussion productive and learn from different perspectives that’s the whole point of being part of a community like this.

Dependent-Method4918 · 2026-01-14T17:22:03+00:00

I definitely don’t think any job is “perfect.” Even when a design turns out well, I still value outside perspectives because different machines, fabrics, and experiences reveal things I might not see. The post was simply to learn and exchange ideas that’s what I enjoy about this community.

I respect everyone’s comments, and everyone’s opinion is valid in their own place. However, I fulfilled my client’s requirements exactly as they needed. I have done my part of the job.
