Satin Line Options

Set density, width and taper for the custom satin line.

 

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.

 

Embroidery on thicker fabrics usually looks better with more stitch coverage, or a low density setting. Choose a low value such as 2 or 3 for heavy knit fabrics, a higher value such as 5 or 6 for a light material like linen or satin.

Width

Set Width for satin line from 1 to 12mm. The initial setting is 4mm.

Underlay

Use this option to place edge walk underlay inside each edge of the satin line. Underlay will not be generated if the Border Width is set below 2mm.
