Satin Line is a line of constant-width satin stitch. The width of the line can be set from 1 to 12mm.
Use Satin Line as a line, or as a border to an area.
Click a satin line so that the points defining it are shown, then Control–click and choose Properties.
Select Satin Line in the line pop-up menu in the stitch type section of the Create toolbar, then click the Options button and select Fill Area and Line from the pop-up menu. In the Area Properties dialog, click Line.
Use the Satin Line dialog to set density and width for satin lines and borders.
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.
Set Width for satin border from 1 to 12mm. The initial setting is 4mm.
Use this option to place edge walk underlay inside each edge of the satin border. Underlay is not generated if the Border Width is set below 2mm.
The Start Point and End Point settings can be used to taper the ends of your satin lines.
Note: Use these options to create mitered or pointed ends for your satin lines.
