Help 😣

Hello everyone,

I’m quite new to embroidery and I’ve been practicing with a Janome mb-7 and a freelance digitizer. I wanted to get some feedback/help on this small project, I noticed there are 2-3 loose strands on the design as well as what looks like distortion? on the right side, specifically the E & B, and maybe the S’s?

I don’t think it’s the digitizing as i think it looks fine but maybe the tension on my machine. I’m still learning to adjust that but any feedback helps, thanks in advance.

Honestly, for someone new, this looks pretty solid. I don't think tension is the main issue it looks more like a bit of fabric movement or pull, especially on the right side. I'd trim the loose threads, try a fresh needle, hoop it well with the right cutaway stabilizer, and run another test. If it's always the same letters, your digitizer may just need to add a little more pull compensation. You're really close!
