How come my embroidery looks NOTHING like the PE design?

[Carol]

It's hard to respond without specific information on what exactly is wrong. It may be possible to go back in to PE Design and fix such problems as spaces between colors, outlines not matching up, and thread density too light. Even experienced digitizers need to test their work on a machine. Or you may need to bone up on basic techniques such as proper stabilizing and thread tension. To encourage you, even the cheapest of machines these day are capable of doing handsome work, so the worst thing you could do is quit! Beginning machine embroidery can be frustrating-- persevere, join a group on line to help, and try again!
