On Saturday I was stitching a design for a towel topper. I picked this one as it was all one colour and thought it would stitch quickly. It was getting late and I was tired and had to be up early on Sunday morning for my Market. I won't say which design it was but by the end I was disgusted. I counted the jumps when it had finished and there were 106 at least. It jumped from one corner diagonally to that corner and back to the original corner etc.

Been there - done that, complained and caught some grief. I realized it must of been early in this digi's career.

I know this is not what you wanted but the best thing to do is stop the machine and them then as you go . Kay

The software I have says you can minimize all those jumps. I have not worked with it enough to learn how. I do not digitize but it would be helpful to know how especially when it has 106 jumps. Good grief. I know how you feel. It is frustrating. Good luck on the next try. God bless you.

Possibly I wouldn't have minded but I was tired and wanting to go to bed.

Lyn, If you have had the design for some time it might be a good idea to check with the digitizer as sometimes they update the design and the buyers don't always get to hear about the update.

Don't think I have had it that long but can't remember. Too busy to look at the moment.

Don't you hate it when this happens when you are tired and just want to end the day! I do hope you managed to get some sleep after that.

The night before a Market I never sleep very well as I am frightened that either the power has gone off or I have set the alarm wrong.

What a shame it was probably a nice design so disappointing when it happens

It is a really nice design but if I do it or another in this group I will do so when I am nor pressed for time.

That's a nasty experience that happened at the wrong time. At least, now you know not to trust a design from the same designer.
Hugs, Lidia

When I get time I will go back and look as I have listed this group of designs in two places. One under Owls and the other under where I have bought the designs. There is more than one design in this group.

That's not a good result. Digitizing takes time and thought to reduce jump stitches. Not everyone takes the time. You might want to contact the digitizer to let them know that the design could use some improvement.

I was cutting the Jumps as I was going along and at 10 I decided to do it when the stitching had finished. When I realised there were so many I thought just as a matter of interest I would count them when it finished. That is how I know there were so many

So sorry you had a problem - I would delete the design immediately.

No I won't delete but won't do that one or any others in that Group unless I am not rushed for time.

Sorry to hear this Lyn. As I say there are digitizers and there are good digitizers. This always happens when we are in a hurry. hugs Marg

If I use it again I will do so when I have time to spare.

I'm with you, Nan. It may be a lovely design, but I don't need the frustration! --Sandra

Especially when you are tired and rushing.
