Introduction
Fixing Embroidery Gaps begins with expert digitizing. When stitches separate, reveal fabric, or look uneven, the overall product appears unprofessional — even when the artwork is strong. Proper digitizing addresses the root causes of gaps by controlling stitch density, underlay, pull compensation, and stitch direction so the design sews out cleanly on the actual garment.
This guide explains why gaps occur, what a digitizer must consider, practical techniques to eliminate gaps, and how to test and QA designs before full production. If you’d prefer an expert to handle the work, a professional team such as Quality Digitizing can audit and fix your files to guarantee gap-free results.
