Kinda hard to tell...is this on pique? If so some solvy would probably help. I'd try it again with solvy and see how it looks.

Looks like the density could be increased. What underlay do you have? Edge run would probably help some. Edge run and something else?

Yes, density looks to be a problem, mite increase it a bit, also looks like thread tension may be a bit too much, looks like the bobbin is pullin up thru the edge of the design. Back off the thread tension a bit and if you have the software, increase your density a bit. Sometimes its ok ill try this opps ok wrong idea lets try this good luck

A picture of the underside of the design would let us know if the bobbin tension is too high. Do you know what solvy is? If so try it again with solvy and see how it comes out.

This is a very simple design and I would like to think anyone would be able to do an acceptable job digitizing this design.

It does appear that your bobbin tension is too low. On the underside of a satin stich you should see approximately 1/3 red, 1/3 bobbin, 1/3 red.

OK. now I'd say to try tightening up the bobbin tension slightly and using solvy.

Bobbin tension is an art. On our bobbins, the difference between too little and too much is about 1/16 of a turn of the screw -- maybe less. Some use the drop test where the bobbin should not drop unless you flick your wrist like with a yo-yo but I find we get the best results when the bobbin slowly drops on its own without me flicking my wrist.

Tensions are definately askew. Before you tighten the bobbin though, make sure you clean under the bobbin spring and then make sure the thread path for the top thread is correct. If you have a buildup of firch under the spring, tightening the bobbin can actually have the opssosite effect since you are levering the spring. That is a pretty dramatic imbalance.

And add a piece of solvy or other soluble topping for sure.

Then adjust the underlay and density a bit.
