I digitize in Wilcom as well, but I never bring my digitized files into Design Shop at all before stitching. I save them as DST files, and then load them as DST files in Amaya OS. There's no need to bring them into design shop at all. Someone else that I digitize for brings the files into their own digitizing software and it always changes the file if they resave it from their software. Sometimes certain software will try to interpret design elements as satin columns, fills, etc and some do a worse job than others. I would try using DST files directly. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
