Creating satin fills
Satin stitch is
well-suited to narrow
columns and shapes,
where the length of each
stitch forms the width of
the column. Satin
stitches are almost
parallel, with every
second stitch slightly
slanted. Because there
are generally no needle penetrations breaking up
the fill, Satin stitch creates a glossy, high-quality
effect.
Creating objects with Satin Fill
Create Satin Fill objects with the following
procedure. If a Satin shape is wide, some stitches
may exceed the maximum stitch the embroidery
machine can produce. When the Auto Split setting
applied, EasyDesign breaks any long Satin stitches
into shorter ones. It also distributes needle
penetrations in a random pattern so that they do
not form a line in the middle of the shape.
To create objects with Satin Fill
1 With no objects selected, click the Object Details icon.
The Object Details > Fill Stitch dialog opens.
2 Select Satin Fill.
3 Create an object using one of the Border or Turning
Angle Fill tools.
Note You can toggle Auto Split on/off for Satin objects
of any object type. The feature is off by default.
Adjusting Satin stitch spacing
Stitch spacing is the distance in millimeters
between two needle penetrations on the same side
of a column. Where a column 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.
Change the stitch density in Satin fills by dragging
the slider in the Object Details dialog. The larger the
spacing between stitches, the lower the density.
The smaller the spacing, the higher the density.
To adjust Satin stitch spacing
1 Select and double-click the Satin object.
The Object Details > Fill Stitch dialog opens.
2 Move the slider to adjust stitch density:
To increase stitch density, move the slider to the
right.
