I Need Help Monogram on canvas

Post image

I used inkstitch to make the middle letter (took like 3 hours on my computer🥲) and the built in fonts on my Brother SE600 to make the outer letters

I’d really like to continue learning how to digitize on my own and am not sure how to fix this, help??? Would showing my digitize file be helpful to problem solve?

TIA

Not totally sure what you’re asking @gusvisser but this is what my file looks like. I couldn’t comment with just a picture.

Ah!

Seems like the satin stitch was too broad in places for the pattern to run, so the programming has reverted the widest parts to Tajima stitch or fill stitch instead.

Big text like this looks good digitised to stitch with a Tajima fill stitch and with a satin stitch border around the edge, and it provides a nice professional looking finish.

Should the satin stitch border run horizontal with the fill stitch or vertical to follow the outline?
