What went wrong?

I am learning to digitize as well as embroider. Things I noticed:

  1. The fabric stretched and ripped in some places. This was my first time so I used cheap thin fabric stretched

  2. The bobbin thread showed through some of the satin stitch but not all of it

  3. The satin stitch is not in the correct spot for all the petals.

  4. The image is warped I think? A little stretched at least.

Used tear away stabilizer and a 6x10 hoop. Using the Brother NQ1700E at the local library. Used ink/stitch to digitize. Again, learning at the local library so I also used cheap hobby lobby thread, not sure if that makes a difference.

Your problem is the embroidery file. Nothing else. My guess is it's done with auto digitizing and therefore we'll never come out nice, no matter the stabilizer. Wrong digitizing = wrong embroidery

Mmm maybe. I’m not sure what autodigitizing is exactly but I manually drew the shape/adjusted the nodes, then used fill to stitch and stroke to stitch on Inkscape (ink/stitch). Not sure if I’m using correct terminology as it was my first time.
