I know nothing about DS but can you select just the tack down section and reduce it by say 1%?

I am setting up a tackle twill application for a cheerleading warm up full back. I have the art and used auto digitize to drawn an outline. No problem. I then duplicated the outline for the tackdown and asked for a -15 point offset on that part of the design. My design is not sewing offset, it continues to follow the outline. The final part of the design is a satin stitch in a contrasting color and it has no problems either. I just canât get the tack down to move inside the line to act as a tack down. I was going to use the auto appliquà feature, but the design has 11 single letters and auto appliquà stops the design 11 times for the appliquà application. Too slow to get out 44 of these warm ups in one day. Any ideas? cr Cheryl Rotter Team Sports Ink 5111 Grumann Dr. Ste #1B Carson City, NV 89706 775-884-3550
