I tried digitizing a U shape and I am not getting satisfactory results. Keeping in mind I'm not actually using the letter "U", just the shape, the upright, or vertical, parts of the shape do well with a horizontal satin stich. My probelm lies at the beginning and ends of the 'bend' area. If the uprights are stitched horizontally, for example, the same stitch direction is used in the bend area making the shape look like ****. Granted, the shape is in three segments, but for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to make the threads "go with the shape" and give it the same look as the straight part. HEP, please HEP me! =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
