Hi Munchie,
I try to explain it with following example:
An Input C object - straight line of constant width will not measure the same when stitched on fabric compared to the width value. The physical width will be less due to the fact that the thread will pull the fabric a little inside the edges depending on the thread tenison and also the type of fabric. Further more the eye woun't catch the total width of the top thread, it will be a little less, rule of thumb is that 0.5 mm sinks into the nap of a fabric. The softer a fabric is, the more the thread will be pulled into the pile, if the pile is high, like Terry and Velour, this effect is more than on Twill.
Consecutively the digitizer needs to take into account all those circumstances and digitze acccordingly. Now you may ask, but why then pull compensation when I took it into account like old school digitizers had to? You are right, in this case you wouldn't do it, but nowadays usually we digitze almost as if fabric would not move etc. and we compensate with this automatic setting. As rule of thumb the softer the fabric, the higher the pile, the more pull compensation will be necessary. How much depends on your style of digitizing, e.g. to you overlap adjoining areas already during digitizing or not ......... at the bottom this means also trial and error to collect experience.
If you digitized a design for Denim and the same shall go onto Jersey you would be not very happy with the look of the stitch out on Jersey when you did not adjust the design before. With pull compensation you have the ability to add pull comp object by object or also globally. This way you save a lot time since you don't have to edit the whole design object by object - but taking this example into account you also would need to adjust other properties like underlay, density ..............
Clear as mud? |

Hi Barbra
I dont know about clear as mud but it is a little clearer, to increase pull compensation i just choose a higher number in the drop down menu right? |

Excellent, just tried it on fleece material and T shirt material, the T shirt logo hardly showed up on the fleece so we unpicked the letter and increased pull compensation to 17 and its much better, thanks Barbara

| Column width increases the width of the underlay as well as the column whereas pull comp jus widens the column |

hi,
pull comp settings depend on size of designs. Are you able to show me design?
