Use the Satin Line dialog to set density and width for satin lines and borders.
Density
Set Density from 2 to 15. The lower the number, the closer together the stitches and the more stitches are produced. The initial setting is 4.
Note: Embroidery on thicker fabrics usually looks better with more stitch coverage (a low density setting). Choose a low value such as 2 or 3 for heavy knit fabrics, and a higher value such as 5 or 6 for a light material like linen or satin.
Width
Set Width for satin border from 1 to 12mm. The initial setting is 4mm.
Underlay
Use this option to place edge walk underlay inside each edge of the satin border. Underlay will not be generated if the Border Width is set below 2mm.

Note: Use these options to create mitered or pointed ends for your satin lines.
