Is it just me, or have auto-digitize tools gotten really good lately? It picked out the colors and shapes on its own, figured out the background and left it unstitched, and added pull compensation.

It's not perfect, though. It missed some of the whiskers that sit outside the face, so I'll add those by hand next time. (The outlines are grey because I ran out of black thread.)

Anyone else using auto-digitize now? Do you trust it for a finished design, or only as a starting point?

Nevermind the unstitched areas i will work on fixing it

Why do my small designs come out so bad, never have had an issue with big ones, its under 3 inches that have detail I struggle with. I did get this file off etsy, so did not digitalize myself. Is it my stabilizer? The file?

They kinda came with the machine as a bonus lol

Where does everyone find their affordable but high quality wreath sashes? Linen or cotton preferably! The ones on Amazon are yuck!
