thank you Irsbranding. I am still trying to convince clients of the benefits of 60wt... so 75 wt is a far fetched concept at this point! I agree with your concept.. we applaud quality but in name only. we don't REALLY want to go through the cost and effort to provide that quality. True. I will soon provide a YouTube video showing 30, 40, 60, and now 75 wt used in the applications that make sense for each. At least then I will have something to direct my clients to so they can see for themselves that quality is not ONLY a digitizing result.

I've only been in this industry for 5 years and most of my embroidery education came from the experience of others, good and bad. I listened to the professionals say you want to do this or you can't do that. Whilst most of what I was taught is correct, the few closed door mindsets caused 90% of my problems. The digitizer I used wouldn't digitize for anything other than 40wt and on top of that he used heavy density settings. Only after buying Wilcom and learning to digitize ( still learning, I don't know much, but..) I realized that he was wrong and causing most of my problems. Painters don't use just one size brush, screen printers don't use only one mesh and mechanics don't have only one wrench. Why would embroidery only use one size thread?
Robert, I applaud you for wanting to use various thread weights in a design. I'm a believer and thank you for your posts on this forum.
I can only imagine how much easier the learning curve would have been if I had used you to digitize .
