I would suggest hooping your stabilizer, tightly, then spray with your fav spray adhesive, place fabric on top nice & straight, with no wrinkles, and try again. The bad outlines are part of the learning curve of embroidery. It can really wreck a good design.
Also, I downloaded the butterfly design, and in embird, it looks like the outline is off a bit to begin with, so it might just be a bad design

How much is Embrid? All the software I have came free with the magic box+... I used EMBroidery to edit the colors and when I stitched out the butterfly save through it the body was half way into a wing
I thought you were suppose to hoop stabilizer and fabric? I've been spraying the fabric smoothing on the stabilizer and the hooping them both I'll try it like you suggested and see if I get a better stitch out.
I do think I was maybe using to lightweight of a stabilizer I got some puckering in places
Thanks for the links I'll check them out!
