Despite the weight of the cotton, I suggest you stabilize the fabric by using a product like Sulky's Totally Stable (it's an iron-on tearaway). Off had I don't know if MelcoMart has a product like that. Since you're using a cutaway, another product is Sulky's or Floriani's fusible nylon mesh (through RNK Distributing).

The fabric is heavyweight cotton and I am using 3oz cutaway. I have set the column for autosplit. Everything stitches out great except for the vertical serifs on the top crossbar. I get puckering on the outer edges of that vertical serif. Any ideas on how to get rid of the puckering??? Thanks for any help!!
