Jill,

I think there may be some confusion over terminology. 

On the one hand, what I believe that you and others are describing fabric that 
puckers around elements of a design.

Pull compensation, is only marginally related. Because of the way a stitch is 
formed, the length of that stitch will be slightly shorter than the center of 
each needle penetration. The type of pull comp that you are describing 
typically makes an element, or all elements wider by a certain amount. 
Depending upon the software, that can be applied as a percentage or a specific 
measurement amount. It may also be fine tuned to apply differing amounts in the 
x direction than the y. Or, or...

It is useful to beef up lettering that looks thin because it sinks into the 
fabric.

But, adding width to elements or the entire design, does nothing to help with 
puckering. 

And, yes, Design Shop has automated pull compensation with a finer degree of 
control than most would ever use.
