Round Patch Problems

proost · January 22nd, 2017, 10:25 PM

Too funny - I just shot digidana my 1" circle conundrum with the same issue today. I have a design that calls for a circle with satin border but spaced away from the circle. It was too busy to have a border on the circle itself but may try that again. I did do an oval first to get it to work but today I did a perfect circle and just played with pull comp. On my Wilcom software, I needed .85mm. So for a 25.4mm circle, 3-3.5%?

Digidana has it exactly right!

I'd use a 10% comp if it were a smaller circle, but 2 should suffice. Instead of digitising a circle, place flat parts at the top and bottom of where the stitches go back and forth... so if you just went straight across (not recommended as Digidana advised, the flat parts would be at the top and bottom.) you could digitise it that way and then rotate it to get the angle. Then add a nice thick satin border (easier for many this way)
