Standard program split consists of a satin foreground and background – i.e. Satin-in-Satin. If patterns do not overlap you may get jump stitches or gaps occurring in the background. In this case, you can select from different combinations of satin and tatami stitches.

Satin-in-Satin

This is the standard program split stitch type, which produces the smallest number of stitches.

Use this option to avoid long stitches when the patterns are small but column and row spacings are wide.

Tatami-in-Tatami

Both foreground and background use tatami. Select this option for large objects and patterns to avoid long stitches.
