The same thing happens with stock designs. You buy something off the internet and find that it sews great on denim shirts, but when you try to sew it on a t-shirt, the outlines don't line up. Once again the Digitizer is to blame. In reality, the Embroiderer is the one to blame for assuming a given design works well on every fabric. It doesn't. In review, digitizing is not always the culprit when it comes to poor registration. Machine problems, improper hooping, backing issues, lack of topping and fabric characteristics can all contribute to poor registration. It's up to the Embroiderer to assess the situation completely and determine what the real cause (or causes) is for poor registration. Don't scream at the Digitizer until you know he/she really is the problem. And if that is the case, don't scream too loudly – be professional – a mild shout might suffice. www.hsi.us care@hsi.us 176
