Feathered Satin forms a column of satin that is feathered on one, or both sides. A Feathered Satin column uses zigzag stitches where the start and end points of the stitches are random rather than all parallel.
Choose whether one or both sides of the column are feathered, and set the stitch length and density.

Feather One Side |
Use the Feathered Satin dialog to set density, Feather Type, and Stitch Length.
Density
Set Density from 2 to 40. The lower the number, the closer together the stitches and the more stitches are produced. The initial setting is 15.
Feather Type
Select which side of the column to feather. The available options are Both Sides, Side A or Side B, according to the side where the first (A) or second (B) point was placed.
Stitch Length
Set the Length of feathering stitches from 2 to 30mm in steps of 1mm. The initial setting is 30mm.
Feather Both Sides
Create a satin column with both edges feathered.
The start and end points of the stitches are random rather than all parallel. The final width of the section is 2-2.5 times larger than it is for standard satin, as shown.
The maximum stitch lengths of the feathered satin may be from 2 to 30mm and the satin density may be from 2 to 40.
Feather One Side
Create a satin column with one edge feathered.
If desired, the feathered side may be altered in the properties dialog.
One edge is feathered, so the start and end points of the stitches on the feathered are random rather than all parallel. The final width of the section is 1.5 to 1.75 times larger than it would be for standard satin, as shown.
The maximum stitch lengths of the feathered satin may be from 2 to 30mm and the satin density may be from 2 to 40.
