The Takeup - Ep. 140: Distortion, Compensation, & Preparation in Machine Embroidery

Let's dive into distortion & compensation from the classic 2D understanding of pull and push compensation as well as shape distortion, but push beyond the flat to talk about 3D distortion like cupping, dishing, rippling, and puckering with a holistic approach that starts with digitizing and ends with execution, discussing stabilizers, hooping, and how we run our machines. This review will come with viewer questions, so jump in the live and share your experience to help your fellow Reciprocators watching along!
