Hello everybody. I know that this has been asked before and I read the thread, however, I still have a few questions if that is ok. I am trying to digitize a design and I have trouble with the push and pull compensation. I will include a picture. The orange and the red are supposed to be on top of each other and align perfectly. However, as you can see, it is not happening on that part of the design. Someone suggested in another post to manually change the design just where the pull compensation is happening. Would this mean that I would 'miss-align' that part in the digital design, hoping it would come out aligned when stitched out? Also, would the pull compensation be the same on other machines or is there a possibility a design can come out differently when stitched out in other formats on other embroidery machines? If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

I agree with Martine...this does not look like a push/pull issue...it looks like the fabric might have shifted while it was stitching...to answer your question about push/pull...if you were to adjust the nodes, yes, that would mean that you would "miss-align" that part of the design so that when it stitched, it would stitch correctly...if it were a circle, it would look like a slight oval and not a perfect circle...hope that makes sense..

I don't think this has to do with push/pull, which is not so much dependent on the machine you use, but on the fabric - a nice middle weight cotton being the easiest to use. Density of the design is of great importance too.
Those sharp points can be a problem when using columns and satin stitches for an outline, single or treble stitches are easier, but the slight knots caused by tie-on/tie-off stitches are more obvious. I can't see what stitch you used even in magnification, so can't say anything helpful about that.
You could set the end node just slightly to the right or edit the stitch by hand as it is only out at that point. Outlines are difficult when thin (and I guess that's why auto-digitising uses rather thick satin stitches to hide any gaps).

I can't help - but I know there are a lot of digitisers on here who will come along shortly and help you out. Good luck with it all. Love Chris, Newcastle, Australia.
