Your 'outline' can be done in 'segments' instead of one continous line. So, where the outline goes over multi layers-stop the line-and create new line for that segment. Overlap your end point to the original line for continous sewing-but get rid of any underlayment where it goes over the 2 colors-and also increase density number-so there is 'less' density (if you have 4, for example, go to 4.5 to start with). Then start your outline again at the end of the 'overlap' and that line use the same settings as your 'original' line. Do this wherever necessary-and it should sew out as one continous line-but the density/underlayment will change so that the thread breaks will stop. Where it goes over other layers-those in effect become the underlayment-and you can decrease the density of the 'outline' because you are sewing on a compact layer-not the jacket alone. You have 'deleted' one extra layer (underlaym ent) and decreased the stitch count because of the other 2 layers-so it should still sew nice and compact. Might take a little tweaking but it works for me. I learned this by 'deconstructing' Dakota designs that did this to figure out how they managed it. Test it out on scrap material-by creating a 'new' design and deleting everything except some of the problem area-so you dont' have a huge file to test each time-just the bad area. Good luck!
