What type of needle would you use for a 100% cotton fabric? The cotton fabric used for general quilting actually. I've tried BP and sharps in various sizes and all seem to pull the thread around the design or lettering. Tried decreasing density too and that still didn't give me good results. When I hold it up to the light, I can see the pulled threads around the perimeter. The lettering was 1-inch high, Jester font. I used a sticky-back stabilizer in the FastFrames. One with a floater and one without a light wt tearaway floater. Same results.
