Welcome to the group... And love the name of the business.... Make sure you have a good underlay... And do you have a satin around the edge to clean it up? As for Design Shop Janel Harris is top notch on that and is part of this group but also runs a eds/design shop group too..

My tiny little business is called Embroidery Magic. (Something my son picked out) I have always wanted to do embroidery and have my own business, so after the last place I worked at closed, and I got another job that I hate with all my heart, I decided to go for it. So here I am. I just received my replacement Amaya. ( the last one had mechanical problems) and I am ready to go. But like with all new ventures, I have problems and lots of questions that I need help with. Right now I have a digitizing dilemma that I am hoping that someone can help me with. I have the Design Shop Pro ( was EDS IV) and I have digitized a logo for a local fishing shop. On screen it comes out great. I even was able to do a 3 color gradient fill. But when I sew it out the outline does not go where it is suppose to go. I have tried different pull compensations and it does not seem to work. Any Suggestions?
