I have tried all the above methods ... until someone on Yahoo-groups suggested this:

Once you have finished the design, BUT before you start the outline, pretend you are finished and go out of the file. Leave everything just as it is on the machine - don't remove anything. Now start from the beginning, let the machine centre the design again etc.
Now fast forward to the outline part and start. It will stitch out properly.

I do this everytime I have a design with an outline. And it works perfectly. :thumbup: :)

Michigan to Lewisville Tx quite a drive, wave going down I35 thru Norman, if you go that way. Have a safe trip, and I love the sock Monkey.

For now, get some good fabric pens with permanent ink and color in the gap!

I went to her site and looked at the Sock Monkey designs. She has quite a few Sock Monkey collections. Which one do you have? I need to do a quilt for a grand son and I thought these would be perfect. Ann in TN

What I've done is use "very" fine point perma pent to fill in and it just disappears. :thumbup:
