Embroidery and Digitizing

I’m out of ideas on this one.
I have reached out to a few companies but no recommendation has worked.
This is a woven type fabric.

Machine is Barudan 4-head BENY

Things done so far
- needles 75 and 80
- backing paper - tear away, cut-away - doubled up/quadrupled up.
- use speciality backing from Gunold - ActionBack
- used magnetic hoop and also regular hoop
- loosened tension on thread

I welcome any suggestions.

Thr digitizing has zigzag underlay, followed by edge. If i remove the zizag, there is definitely less puckering.

looks more likely to be digitizing issue.

most likely the digitizing. split satins/turn fills don't work well done small on flimsy fabric. too many stitches on the inside corners, etc. i can't tell the size, but i'd either do it as a regular satin, or if the stitch width is over 6mm, a flat fill with a satin outline.

best you can do with that file on the embroidery side is use a stiff backing, and hoop tight, but not stretch the fabric if at all possible.

how tight are you hooping?? If the garment is too tight in the frame it will pucker

The stuff looks like it has a water resistant back coding it won’t stretch like normal fabric if it does you got a reducer stitch count

Thx. The original file was 9.5k stitching.
I had it redone to 7k - removing zigzag underlay and left with edge underlay. Much better but not ideal.

I’m using magnetic hoop, so it stretches the fabric. The best way I can describe this fabric is what bags are made of. The back is softer and more plastic-like.

Is your Bobbin tight? and is your hook timing perfect.

Yes I have no issues with other fabric/hats.
It is really specific to this embroidery/fabric.

You’re right I was paying more attention to the fabric then the stitch on there and the split satin is causing a huge problem bad nothing border without that on this material

I did reduce density. Can't go any lower without affecting the look.
I can only use magnetic hoop on this fabric - manual hoop is painful and too time consuming.
