OK so this is my first try at inkstitch to do my own project. i did the trace bitmap and below is what I get. When I stitch it out it looks like the second picture. Its not terrible but you can see yellow behind the lettering. The lettering also isn't very clean around the edges. I have tried to change these to satin stitches but it wont do it and the program crashes. I would appreciate any advice anyone has as Ive tried to make this better for weeks on my own watching videos.
Also this is SOOOO MANY STITCHES. I have no idea how there could possibly be any yellow showing through the lettering or the lettering looking so messy. I would love to here how to make this less stitches as well. Ive already almost went through my entire roll of yellow and black trying to fix this lol
You could consider to use a yellow patch fabric backing, this way you would save all the yellow thread.
For the font and the border (depending on the size of it) you rather may want to use a satin, this will save some stitches too. If the big letters are too big for satin, use a longer stitch length. This will also improve coverage.

Can you reproduce the crash and if yes, can you describe your steps?
