Underlay, or packing, is used below pattern fills and satin areas, columns and borders to stabilize fabric.
Areas, columns and borders in a font or SuperDesign set can have underlay automatically generated. Select the required underlay type for the stitch type when creating the letter A for a font. This will ensure the best result if different pattern properties are chosen in mySewnet™ Embroidery. For instance, if the fill angle is changed, the automatic underlay angle will also change appropriately.
For satin areas, select Zigzag or Edge Walk underlay in Satin Area properties. Generally, if satin is wider than 2mm then you should use some underlay. Satin underlay can be a running line just inside the satin shape (edge walk or tramline), a widely spaced zigzag of single stitches across the satin shape, or a combination of the two.
