Sew out a test sample, and when it gets near the problem 'jump' area, slow it
down to 500 or 600 so you can read the stitch number in the Amaya OS window.
Write that down...finish the design and watch for other trouble spots in case
it does the same thing.
Open up the design in Design Shop, and click on the design 'tree' (column
listing every stitch) and also click on the design to show stitches. find the
'number' stitch you wrote down and click it, you'll see on your design page the
stitch highlighted. Click up or down with the arrow key until you spot the
exact number stitch where the needle jumps across the design-and add the
'scissor' right there. You have now added a 'cut' in the design but not a new
color-so nothing else changes.
I always 'select all' on a new design, right click for properties, and make
sure that 'Tie in/Tie off' is clicked, and also 'if greater than' should be set
at .25 (quarter inch).
Keep in mind that some designs have their 'own' digitized 'tie in and tie
off'-this will be a little bundle of stitches wherever the sewing starts and
stops. So if you 'add' this in the program you have just duplicated it and can
get thread breaks and extra threads in that spot. It depends on whether your
design 'areas' have underlayment as a separate layer or if it is part of the
'fill' that Design Shop does. When you learn to 'clean up' pre digitized
designs, like Dakota, you will learn that you can edit out hundreds of stitches
by throwing out the underlayment and doing it with Design shop automatically. I
normally can cut a Dakota design down 30% with a little time, reset color
sewing sequences, and speed up a sewout by 50%. Newer digitized designs (when
you specify Amaya machine) usually have this all done for you.
