Re: digitizing
A couple of things you could try:
You could try increasing the density to about .42 or .4 (but that will give even more stitches.
You could decrease the stitch length slightly. (again more stitches)
I don't normally auto-underlay (I like to have control), so go to the "effects" part of "object properties" and see what they've given you. I usually use the step underlay for the first underlay (90° to the stitch direction), and edge-walk for the second option. (If you do it the other way around your step underlay is only at 45° to the stitch direction)
Try using a different step-fill pattern. You are probably using No. 1. Try 12,13,14,16,17,18,or 19. They are more random. (Have a look at appendix D in your manual - found under the "Help" icon.)
It looks like your whole tent is digitized as one object, and nothing wrong with that, but imagine the fun you could have with textures in different areas, and using the "wave effect" for curvy stitching. :-)
Let us know how it goes.
