I replying directly to you as opposed to the website .... Would you like to send me the design and I’ll run it on my machine (also XT) and see what I can find? Pique is always a challenge. I can run it with some setting changes and let you know what they are. I may have the same results, but it’s worth a try.

PLEASE DO NOT REPLY VIA EMAIL. Instead, respond to the thread on the WEBSITE by clicking here: http://www.amayausers.com/boards/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?/topic/2/1588.html We've asked that the logo (a two line name of a college) be digitized to eliminate puckering on poly/cotton blend (easy care or non-iron) dress shirts (still puckers) I've "glued" tear away backing to the back of the shirt and also backed it with another sheet of medium tear away backing, used a combination of crisp tear away and soft tear away, used a 10 sharp needle, used an 11 light ball point needle, NOT stretched it in the hoop, used a fabric window for stability, changed some thread feed numbers, loosened the bobbin tension, used waxed paper. What directions should I move the thread feed (column feed, run/fill feed) to help the stitches not pull (particularly at the tops of columns of letters like A and M)? . Poly/cotton blend woven dress shirts always pucker. The logo does just fine on a pique shirt. We’ve been embroidering for 3 years. Help!
