Laurie,
I see that you have "shrunken" the design twice already......how big to how
small?
Unfortunately scaling down a design for caps doesn't always work well. In fact
most of the time quality suffers greatly, but it all depends on the specific
design as to what you can get away with.
Folks don't like to hear that you can't take their complex left chest or jacket
back size design and shrink it ddown to cap size without redigitizing it. They
feel they are being gouged or ripped off ......
It appears from what you are describing, you have several strikes against you.
A large design that has been shrunken twice, lots of detail in the design,
using the auto feature to digitize parts of the design, the sewing order which
you have now changed for the better, backing, etc.....
When scaling a design down, the Scale Factors tool should be used to reduce the
stitch count "before" the design is scaled down. Did you do this?
Stitch lengths in the fills, especially long stitchs of 60 pts or so, do not
take well to scaling down in very small areas or small detail.
So when they say, digitize for caps, there are specific things to consider and
"too" much detail in too small of an area is certainly one of them that will
present you with a great deal of frustration and heartache in the form of
fraying and thread breaking....
