You probably have to increase the pullcomp on the design and lettering a LOT...and maybe even have to use a solvy for a topping to hold the thread above the material. Really going to be difficult to do a perfect design on a heavy pique simple because of the 'thickness' of the material-the highs and lows screw up the thread and can mat down so 'circles' turn into ovals. You are going to need some sample pique material to play on to get your settings and changes to work on it. Can't set it with backing material, has to be similar to what the customer is supplying. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
