John,

I'll take a shot at this.

This sounds a lot like the problem with sewing on leather jackets. If you have 
too many stitches around the edge of the design it will almost punch out when 
done.

Reduce the density of your stitching. Open it up to the limit of acceptable 
coverage. That limit will vary depending on the color of the capes and the 
threads used in the design but a starting point would be 6.0 and above. Turn 
off the underlay on your columns and fills. When doing light fills you should 
use the trapunto setting so the travel stitches are at the edge of the fills, 
not through the middle. Same thing with the columns. When using lighter density 
pay attention to the look of the underlay or just turn it off.

Of course smaller needles will also help, 65 or so as a start

Hope this helps. Or at least bump starts the discussion.
