How do I remedy thread breaks with the stitching looks like it is
"denting" the shirt. I don't if that makes sense, but I guess that is the
best way to describe what it looks like.
The shirt is "Inner Harbor" 100% cotton pique.
Font: Brush Script
Size: .35
center walk
auto density on
pull comp 160%
backing: 2 oz. cut-away & solvy
Just not happy with appearance. Any suggestions?
Thanks...
LuAnn

You're right Herb, if I do anything Navy, Black, Dark Grey, etc. I
always use black bobbins.
