Thanks. I'll give that a try on the next stitch-out.

You could try either 2 or 1 and see if it works. I'm sure someone will give you more help on the software end, but this might help for the time being.

I am running Design Shop Pro + 7.00.018. The Amaya OS is the same version. I have a design that was digitized in Wilcom and saved as .emb. I open it in ES-45 and save it as an .exp file, then read it into Design Shop and save the file as .ofm. When I run it on the Amaya, there are a number of jumps that are not trimming when I think they should. The tools > options > file options tab in the Amaya OS has jump stitches for trim = 3. Are there any other settings I need to adjust? Am I just dreaming that this should "automagically" do the trims, or do I have to go back to Wilcom to insert the trims? Should I be saving the file as .cnd? When I do, I get a whole lot more stitches, like 5% more. Thanks for any suggestions or enlightenment.
