I made a "boo boo " here. I don't know what I did , but the flesh color stitch is out of line. I will admit that I turned the machine off at some point and came back to it later. I first thought it was the outline off and then realized the skin or flesh was off. Maybe ,some of you digitizers know what happened. We all learn from each other so you will not hurt my feelings by commenting. Kay

Oh, well....she's still Betty!

I am not sure and I certainly would not criticize our fellow cuties. i may have messed it up or should I say my Bernina messed it up.

I got a design similar to this from YouEmbroidery, but it couldn't be the same because mine does not have the black outline. The design was outlined and underlay stitches were put in using a neutral color prior to any of the embroidery stitches starting. This looks like it may be lack of a good underlay.

maybe you are on to something.

I did the same design on a towel and it stitched out fine, so I should say, try again because the design ( You embroidery?) is so cute.

This was on knit t- shirt. maybe the problem.

Just wondering what order the colours stitched in? Maybe if the flesh was first, and you knocked the hoop then the rest is off to that? I'm no expert - just a thought. Would be interesting if you stitch it again to see if it works?
I did have one design that threw itself completely out half way through, in the end I decided it was the design file at fault because even after turning the machine off and resetting everything it did it again.

Don't feel bad!!

She's adorable. About the outline, I think it's cute. The way I see it, is the fact she's exercising, and lost a lot of weight...HEHEHE.
Nice work.

Good attitude!!

Hi Kay, I'd give it another go and it it's still not right - write to the digitiser and inform her/him of the problem. I wouldn't worry too much, some designs these days are not actually in alignment. Love and blessings Chris

maybe you have a point!!

Oh Kay what a pitty. Did you turn the machine off before you did the flesh colour or after?
Have you managed to re stitch her and see if it happens again?

Hugs Yvonne

Don't know what I did. i did not know any thing was wrong until I stitched the outline which was the last color change. No I haven't had time to try again.

I love your Betty Boop -what a shame about the outline - it seems that it is 'off' only around the flesh parts. Do you think you knocked your machine? I often turn my machine off when I am sewing, so I am interested to know if that really makes a difference. I hope you get lots of answers.

I was hoping for an explanation too.
