What Causes Holes after Digitizing Embroidery

Did you ever see the holes in the dress after the digitizing embroidery ? Do you have any idea how to avoid sewing holes in your clothes? Once a host is present, it may be difficult, or even impossible, to correct it. Yes, it can be done many times, but it takes a lot of time. The best way to do that is to stop it from happening.




If you notice any holes in your clothes after the accident, see if they're the guilty party.

Incorrect needle type

Incorrect needle size

Burr on needle

Design with Too Many stitches

Too many stitches in one area of the design

Invalid Support Type

In our featured image, some of the small letters have holes inside. These holes are caused by using the wrong needle. This embroidered image is taken from a lightweight cotton t-shirt using polyester thread. The needle used was a 75/11 sharp needle. On knitted garments, you should use a 70/10 ballpoint needle. For backing or stabilizer, on knit garments use 2 layers of no show and 1 layer of snap backing and topping on top. The sectioned backing not shown holds it in place and gives it great stability, and the tear keeps the small letters crisp and flat so they don't wrinkle. This is especially important when you're working with high-performance structures.




Many times, when you have too many stitches in one area (such as around a curve), you will see holes in the center of the lowercase letters. This often helps if you lower the density. For insufficient coverage, add liner stitching instead of top thread stitching.

Holes in clothes after embroidery can be completely avoided. I have a checklist that you can use as you sew each design before applying it to the finished garment. This checklist will help you solve many production problems!
