Tatami stitch density is determined by the distance between each row of stitches. Sometimes row spacing is increased to create more open stitching for backgrounds and special effects.
Tip: When you increase stitch spacing, Auto Underlay should be turned off. If too open, you may also find that travel runs and overlapping segments spoil the effect. The Trapunto effect automatically moves underlying travel runs to the edges of an object so that they can’t be seen.
