- Small Hoop Sizes: Test the design on a small scale to ensure all details are clear and well-defined.
- Tiny Lettering: If the design includes text, check that it is legible and adjust the size if necessary.
- Layered Details: Use a proper stabilizer to prevent puckering and ensure the layers sit smoothly.
- Thick Towels: Adjust the stitch density to accommodate the thickness of the fabric and avoid bulky areas.
- Dark Fabric: Choose thread colors that provide good contrast and visibility against dark backgrounds.
- Stretchy Garments: Use a stretchable stabilizer to maintain the design's integrity on stretchy materials.
- Curved Caps: Ensure the design fits the curvature of the cap without distortion.
- Dense Stitch Areas: Monitor the stitch density to prevent the design from becoming too stiff or heavy.
- Items Needing Repeated Washing: Select durable threads and a strong stabilizer to withstand multiple washes.
