Okay, 1st question...how'd he get the photos to post? It worked!
Now here's my 2¢ worth.
1) same as Aaron-are both hoop 'arms' screwed down tight
2) is the HOOP tight, and do you have 'adhesive backing' around the
inside/outside to give it some grip on the material? My 1st guess is the
material is shifting-as it sews, the thread 'tightens' the material together,
and pulls it in the hoop. So when it comes back the other direction to finish
the letter, the material has moved in the hoop
3) backing-the satin is a wicked slippery material-you may need to use adhesive
spray or adhesive backing if that will keep it from moving.
4) the lettering is large enough you might add a zigzag or centerline
underlayment-this will 'tie down' the entire letter to the backing before it
sews the front-may not be any underlayment on the lettering now-so as it sews
the top it shifts, then comes back up from the bottom and moves again as it
sews.
From the test pattern-I see what I think is a definite 'material shift' in one
direction-side to side on all the pattern. So I'd check each possible problem:
hoop arms, hoop tension, hoop 'grab' (wrap with adhesive paper to stop),
material sliding on backing, and stitch density-might be too tight. If it's
3.5, say, change to 3.8, might help some of the 'pull'. It's an experiment
process but narrow down each possibility and then try the next. Once you get
it, write it down on the back of a sample and put it in a file-you'll have it
for the next job!
