- ALL·INFORMATIONALUnderstand your validation reportHow to read the validation report: what each finding means, what severity levels indicate, and where the matching issue lives in your file.
- DIGITIZER OPERATOR·TRANSACTIONAL·EXPLAINERApply suggested validation fixes safely (accept, override, or document)Every validation finding offers three responses: accept the suggested fix, override with a note, or mark as ignore-and-document. Here's the decision tree, what each path does to the file, and how to keep the audit trail clean.
- EMBROIDERY SHOP·TRANSACTIONAL·HOW-TODesign too big for hoop: how to fix without re-digitizingWhen a validation report flags 'design exceeds hoop safe-stitch area', the design itself isn't wrong — the hoop is. Here are the four ways to fix it without sending the file back for re-digitizing.
- DIGITIZER OPERATOR·TRANSACTIONAL·HOW-TOStitch density too high: how to thin safelyWhen the validator flags density above the fabric's threshold, thinning the design is usually the right answer — but the wrong way to thin can degrade the satin columns. Here's how to thin density without ruining definition.
- DIGITIZER OPERATOR·INFORMATIONAL·EXPLAINERLong satin stitches: when to split (and when to leave alone)Satin stitches longer than about 10 mm risk snagging on jewelry, fingernails, or wash cycles. The decision tree: split into shorter columns, accept and document, or change technique — and how fabric choice changes the call.
- EMBROIDERY SHOP·INFORMATIONAL·EXPLAINERWhy a validation rule passes on canvas and fails on a teeSome validation rules adapt to the fabric class set on your project — density, stabilizer recommendations, stitch-length tolerances. Here's why context-aware checks matter and how to set the right fabric for each run.
- DIGITIZER OPERATOR·INFORMATIONAL·REFERENCEHow many stitches per square inch is safe? Embroidery density limits by fabricA practical reference for safe embroidery density (stitches per square inch / per mm²) across the common fabric classes: cotton tee, performance polo, fleece, towel, canvas. Plus how density compounds with fill type.
