The Color Tile Options page of the PhotoStitch Wizard only appears when you are creating a color tile embroidery. Use the Color Tile Options page to select tiles, and set the stitch options for them.
Tiles
Select a tile shape from the drop-down list. The available shapes are:
The default tile shape is Diamond.
The tile size is based on the width of the tile at its widest point.
Select the width of the tiles from 2mm to 5mm in steps of 1mm.
The default tile size is 3mm.
The stitch options selected here are retained until the wizard for a different embroidery type is chosen, or a new picture is loaded.
Use Satin stitch for the tiles. Select Satin, and click the Options button, to see the Density options.
Set Density from 2 to 12. The lower the number, the closer together the stitches and the more stitches are produced.
The initial setting is 4.
Use Fill for the tiles. Select Fill, and click the Options button, to see the Density options.
Set Density from 2 to 12. The lower the number, the closer together the stitches and the more stitches are produced.
The initial setting is 2.
Select from Side to Side, where the stitches are parallel to the sides of the shape, and Point to Point, where the stitches are from corner to corner of the shape.
