A mitered corner using satin columns allows the stitches to flow smoothly around the corner, instead of simply having a block of stitches in one direction and then the next block of stitches in a different direction. Whether or not to use mitered corners is a style choice for each font. Recommended output size is also a factor, as mitered corners are often more desirable for large lettering.

No miter. Two separate columns are placed next to each other with stitches at right angles (an overlap would be recommended). |

Basic miter. Place the points with the Shift key held down so that the stitches flow around the corner. |
|
|
Advanced miter. The stitches only start to change angle near the corner. Acute angles (less than 90°), such as those found on italic characters, benefit from advanced miters. |
