I hope this is not a too technical question, but how does pull compensation work? When I look at a design is there a way to tell the difference between whether or not pull compensation cause the problem vs stablizer issues?

Pull compensation (p.c.) is added in the digitising stage, in increments of a tenth of a mm.

In an existing embroidery design the computer generated picture of the design might show the outline being a tiny bit inside the fill stitches.
I digitised an example. For demonstration I set the p.c. very high at 1 mm, usually I don't go higher than 0.3 mm. As you can see the compensation is added only in the stitch direction.
1 - no compensation;
2 - with compensation;
3 - with compensation, different stitch direction.

Adding p.c. to an embroidery design can be done in Embird Basic, but as far as I know it can't be done in 6D. So have a look at any customising software you might have.

Ok. Is #1 with compensation and #2 without? Or is my monitor playing games with my eyes?

as I wrote above #1 is without, #2 with compensation - see the top of the ears.

If you understand Push and Pull compensation, you can look at a design in digitizing software and see if the digitizer of the design has allowed for push and/or pull. If they have not, the design can usually be edited to add them where necessary. This would not generally be something that you could add or adjust in your embroidery machine.
