You sewed the design and it puckered, gapped, closed up, or came out stiff. Re-upload your artwork, tell us what went wrong on the real sew-out, and ThreadProof regenerates a corrected .DST with the matching fabric-physics fix — and explains, in plain English, exactly what it changed.
The original vector or image you started from — not a photo of the sewn result. Clean shapes correct best.

Pick every problem you saw on the real sew-out. Each one maps to a specific correction.
Everything runs in your browser — your artwork is never uploaded.
A preview of the re-digitized stitch-out, what we changed, and the machine file.
Stitch-Out Fix is a report-and-correct tool, not a photo analyzer. It reads six known embroidery failure modes and maps each one to a specific, deterministic change in the digitizing settings.
When you re-upload your artwork and tick a problem, ThreadProof adjusts the underlying digitizer options before it re-runs the file — the same engine used across ThreadProof, just re-parameterized:
Corrections apply cumulatively if you tick more than one issue, then are clamped to safe digitizing ranges (density 0.34–0.9 mm, width 10–360 mm) so the fix can't overshoot into an unstitchable file. The fabric you select also adds its own pull-compensation, underlay, and stabilizer notes on top of your reported fixes. Before the download unlocks, a fail-closed quality gate checks the corrected output is actually shop-safe — if it isn't, the download stays blocked with a specific suggestion (usually a larger width or fewer colours) instead of handing you a file that will fail again.
No — it does not look at a picture of the sewn result. You re-upload your original artwork and tick the problems you saw, and ThreadProof re-digitizes the file with the matching fabric-physics correction for each issue you report.
Re-upload the original vector or image you started from, not a photo of the sewn patch or garment. SVG, PNG, JPG, or WebP all work — raster images are auto-vectorized. Clean flat artwork with distinct shapes corrects best.
Six common failure modes: puckering/bunched fabric, gaps between fills, small text closing up, over-dense/boardy stitching, thin/see-through fill, and colour registration shifts. Each one you select maps to a specific density, size, or colour-count correction.
A corrected Tajima .DST file, plus an on-screen stitch preview and a plain-English list of exactly what changed. The tool also applies fabric-specific pull compensation and underlay for the fabric you select.
No — everything, including reading your file and regenerating the stitch file, runs in your browser. Your artwork is never uploaded.
ThreadProof runs a fail-closed quality gate before it unlocks the download. If the corrected output still isn't shop-safe — for example the design is too small or too complex for a clean fill — the download stays blocked and the tool suggests a larger width or fewer colours until it passes.
