A Digital Printing Network

I don't do blogs

Greetings Cammers, 1AM EST when I do my lurking and working. I know this is a Versacamm forum since I help moderate it. Many times a lot of you thank me for helping you negotiate the restless waters of our versacamm world. I often humbly accept those acknowledgements and you might think I am one who never needs assistance. Well one of our Cammers have been helping me behind the scenes not to say it has not happened in the past - lets just say I fell comfortable in Milford, Mass - Tom Rivers, Jersey and Orlando, Fl. Well most recently I sent an embroidery file out 3 times to 3 different folks and my stitch out was the same from all three - unusable. Well Carolyn - who you see me refer to as KK - has been working with me behind the scenes and after seeing my stitchout of a file she sent me, plus a pix of my embro machine screen (we both use a Happy - different models) she went through my machine manual online and identified a problem that I have been living with for 4 years. Yes for four years I have been post correcting crappy stitching. KK thanks a million for all of those files - are now sewing out correctly. I might have lost that job for 4 dozen shirts - which I am ok with because I realized I underpriced it. I love this forum.

Irv,

You are so very welcome. I guess it was kind of like needing glasses and never knowing you needed glasses--you had a feeling something wasn't sewing right, but you couldn't identify it since you didn't know what it 'should' have been like <grin>. I can only imagine how frustrated you were at trying to digitize with your settings like that! Try digitizing now, and I'll bet things will look a whole bunch better, since all your push/pull adjustments will respond properly at the machine. Congrats!!!! And likewise, thanks to you and Steve for always being there to help me with my silly printing problems! I sent Steve a file today that neither of us could exactly pin down why Versaworks was showing one thing, and the printer was printing something different. Ask him about it. Pretty strange. We have a work-around though, and we have suspicions about what might be causing it.
