### IMPORTANT NOTES

**Required Skills & Equipment:**
Successful stitching requires:
- A compatible embroidery machine
- Appropriate stabilizer (Cut-away recommended for apparel, Tear-away for stable home decor)
- Appropriate embroidery needles and threads
- Medium to heavy-weight woven fabrics (cotton, linen, denim, canvas). For knits or lightweight materials, use a cut-away stabilizer to prevent puckering.
- Basic machine embroidery skills and familiarity with your equipment
- Understanding of how to load files and adjust tension for satin script stitches
- Pre-stitch testing on fabric scraps before final production

**Fabric Recommendations:**
This design works best on medium to heavy-weight fabrics. For knit fabrics (sweatshirts), use a cut-away stabilizer to prevent puckering. Avoid lightweight fabrics unless using a strong topper, as satin stitches can show backing.
Always test stitch on a fabric scrap first to verify tension and placement.

**Quality Assurance:**
Dimensions reflect final stitched size. Please measure your project area and verify hoop capacity before purchasing. All files are optimized for standard home and light-commercial machines.

**Support & Troubleshooting:**
If you encounter download issues, format errors, or stitching inconsistencies, contact me BEFORE leaving feedback. I respond promptly and will provide format conversions, sequence adjustments, or technical guidance to ensure your project succeeds.
