[amayausers] Re: Densities????

Hi Herb,
Rod is gone but I will chime in with my 2 cents worth.  I know Rod would 
first look at the length of the stitches if he felt it wasn't covering to 
his expectations.  The longer stitches cover better.  Also, what type of 
fabric Pique or woven?  Is there any underlay?  How large is the design?  I 
want my embroidery to cover but without becoming stiff.  I want the feel of 
the fabric to remain as soft as possible--I think that is when Rod uses 
larger stitches to accomplish that (wish I digitized so I could explain it 
better for you--I'm sure someone else can--and I'm sure Rod will add his 2 
cents when he returns).  I don't want my fabric showing through but don't 
want it to bubble or pull from too much build up to accomplish the coverage. 
Hummm---I'm not doing very well so I will let some of the digitizers chime 
in.  I will also be interested in replys.  Hope all is well up your 
way--tell your wife hello!
Sharon
