On my Amaya, I have the Material Thickness at 8. For columns (there are some rope ties around the ring) I have the Amaya column feed at 37; they are satin stitches at 4.0 density and I am getting some puckering at those also. The ring itself is causing minor puckering and I am wondering if I should divide the element and not sew it in a circle?. I am using Auto Actifeed but have the lower limit at 8.0. Should I be on Standard and adjust settings differently? The fabric is bonded imitation leather. It is pretty thick. For backing I am spray adhering cutaway. I maybe should use two layers. Hooping in a jacket back hoop and it just won't get drum tight. Thanks for any suggestions. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
