Q: I am having difficulty with the embroidery features of my machine. I have had a design digitized and my sample stitched out beautifully however, when I try to stitch the design onto a product, in this case a canvas bag - the design is distorted for example: I am using a metallic thread on a light canvas bag and the bobbin thread shows more than the metallic thread. Is this normal? Is the metallic thread not usable in this way? I am using a titanium needle becauase the metallic needle seemed to break the thread. I can stitch the design perfectly on fabric but not on denim or a light canvas - what am I doing wrong? I am also having trouble stitching designs onto a t-shirt - I have been trying all sorts of different stabilizers and needles - perhaps you can provide some advice?
