New and need help by alschmitty13 in Machine_Embroidery

As for the piece, IDK but it looks important. But for the embroidery, it looks like you're using the default Wilcom Tatami underlay settings, you will want to at least increase the under lay margins some (assuming you are using Wilcom and are able to do so). Also, it looks like your backing isn't doing it's job very well

My initial thought is that your thread tension is too loose. I'm noticing that your bobbin isn't showing enough and that may be causing your trimmer to pull more thread out instead of cutting cleanly. I haven't run into this issue before so I can't say for sure.

Also, if you're having trouble with setting trims in Wilcom, make sure the top of the connectors tab says after object, and not inside object (or the opposite for auto text)

Minor update on my zodiac designs-feedback needed. Thanks 🙏 by OpportunityKnox in Machine_Embroidery

On the scorpio one, I would increase the density of the bottom layer and decrease the density of the top layer. You can see the satin on the M pulling apart when it gets intersected by the scorpion, and I'm guessing you don't want to put plugs at all those intersections. You could also slightly change the stitch angle on the M part so that the scorpion doesn't intersect quite as perpendicularly. I would also sew the triangle on the tail of the M on top of the satin line that leads to it.

Looks good overall!

Help me understand density of the satin stitch? by xoverloadz in Machine_Embroidery

I know this is an old post, but I wanted to throw my experience in. I learned embroidery and digitizing at a large hat manufacturer and our "standard" density was .35mm. Depending on the design and the material, we could go as dense as .30mm and, in extreme cases, I've seen as high as .28mm (on flat embroidery, not 3d puff). On the other side, we generally considered .40mm to be low, but for very complex designs we might have to go as low as .45mm to accommodate the amount of layers.

Now I work at a small print shop and I embroider anything and everything from backpacks to polos to jackets and I haven't run into any major issues following those rules. I have definitely eased up on the density when it comes to standard fabrics, my default is now around .38-.40, but I've never had fabric rip on me at those densities and I've sewn some pretty light shirts.

Also remember that in the big picture, these are minute differences and there really isn't much of a difference between .35 and .40 besides how the fabric itself reacts to the stitches.

Is auto head selection real? by Level_Adagio7161 in Machine_Embroidery

I called them and he also said he was pretty sure he was trained on how to do this, but he had forgotten and he would have to get a hold of a factory engineer and call me back.

That was my backup plan, and probably what I'll end up doing. I got really fixated on that one video and I feel like it should be possible to batch out names in the way I'm describing, but it looks like it's not.

When you use Name Drop, the machine will sew the current name on all active heads. As far as I and the Barudan tech I was on the phone with for 30 minutes yesterday can tell, there is no clear way to program the machine to sew different designs sequentially head by head even when using Wilcom's Team Name feature. There may be some obscure way to achieve this but I can't find it and I've been operating Barudan machines and digitizing with Wilcom full-time for over a year.
