66 Pacesetter BES Monogramming Suite Instruction Manual Pull Compensation Settings Pacesetter BES Monogramming Suite allows you to adjust the pull compensation in your design. In the Properties panel, you can use the settings available in the Pull Compensation area to adjust the pull compensation of text objects. Note that pull compensation can only be applied to monogram lettering; it cannot be applied to other embroidery objects, such as Decors and Frames. There are two types of pull-compensation, which differ in the way that the pull compensation is determined. • A percentage pull-compensation calculates the change made to the stitches' width based on their original width. • An absolute pull compensation is simply an extra amount of width which is added to the stitches regardless of their original length. When you use percentage pull-compensation, you can also enter a value in the Max range box of the Pull Compensation area. This value sets an absolute maximum limit on the size of the pull compensation. If the calculated pull compensation value goes over this length, the actual stitches that are generated will be limited to this length. To adjust the pull compensation: 1 Select the monogram lettering you want to adjust. 2 Press ALT + Enter to display the Properties panel.
