Changing lettering stitch types
By default, lettering objects are filled with Satin
Fill. You can also apply other basic fill stitch types,
such as Weave Fill, as with other embroidery
objects. See Selecting fill stitches for details.
Adjusting Satin Fill settings for lettering
objects
By default, lettering objects are filled with Satin
Fill. Where a letter is narrow, stitches are tight,
thus requiring fewer stitches to cover the fabric.
Where a column is very narrow, stitches need to be
less dense because too many needle penetrations
can damage the fabric. See also Creating satin fills.
To adjust Satin Fill settings for lettering
objects
1 Double-click a selected lettering object.
The Object Details > Fill Stitch dialog opens.
2 Move the slider to set the stitch density you want for
your lettering.
3 Click OK.
Try this! Add extra texture to lettering by applying
Feather Edge. See Applying Feather Edge for details.
