Hello Everyone,
I am a newbie and I have tried searching and youtube but no luck. I am having issues with the stitch quality on our Barudan. I have a customer who offers custom embroidered bed sheets but I cannot get the quality to where its acceptable for them. The items are all 100% cotton and im using Madeira #40 thread with TR-30 backing. The stitching seems to be lifted in some spots, I have attached a photo with the problem areas.

Assuming you have fully lubricated the machine, also check the backing(stabilizer) that the tension is fine, the only problem i can think of is Needle Depth gauge.

Virtually every point you have circled is an entry or exit point for the stitching... Some of that you cannot avoid, the machine needs to add tie-offs or the stitching will unravel after you trim. Might be correctable with digitizing?

I have Wilcom Embroidery Studio e4 for digitizing, and this font is a true type font. Im not sure if this could e the case, I tried to tighten up the satin fill but I had no luck.

I suggest hiring a pro digitizer like Digidana or Wicked stitch of the East which are two I personally have used and see if it makes a difference. At least you can then rule out a file issue. You would be surprised at the difference a quality built stitch file can do even with simple stuff. I often do my own name drops and stuff on bags and jackets but usually use one or two fonts that I have found digitize out without a lot of fixing required. I'm still a relative newbie at this having only been running my machine a few years. Learning slowly as I go but almost always hire out anything I am worried about looking pristine.

This has nothing to do with your Barudan. Wilcom has plenty of fonts to select from instead of the true type fonts. When you select a true type font, adjustments need to be done to the font to make it stitch correctly. This takes some expertise you may not have.
My suggestion is to select your font from Wilcoms regular font selection and you will not have these problems.

Can you post or send me the dst file so i can look at it.
To me it looks like A B D and Y, this shouldn't happen with starting and ending point. Also post either dst or emb 3.0

Agree. Looks like digitizing Issue. Auto-digitizing a TTF is not the same as having it manually digitized by a professional digitizer.

Thanks everyone for the replies it was definetly the digitization issue. We are no longer offering true type fonts only the ones supplied with our Wilcom Software.

Also thank you to @Wildgoose for recommending wicked stitch of the east, they do top notch work.

definitely the font for most of them. on some, its just the trim code. it helps to move them to the end of the stitch group instead of having them trim in the middle of the lettering. not always possible tho...like on the D, where its a closed stitch group...
