The stiches of the design must be arranged properly in order to give a clean and complete look to the design reducing the defects in the design.

 

• Bunching Corners

 

When the corners of the embroidery design on the fabric are not crisp, and the thread gathers up at the corner is called bunching. This is also a common defect that may occur while providing services that should be taken care of.

A good embroidery digitizer should handle the fabric, needle and thread properly and should also keep a lot of patience while performing the tasks to ensure quality embroidery digitizing.
