Right-click Stitch Effects > Auto Underlay to adjust Center Run and Edge Run underlay settings.

Center Run places a row of stitches along the center of a column. It is used to stabilize narrow columns – e.g. 2-3 mm wide. Edge Run places stitches around the edge of an object. Use Edge Run together with the zigzag or tatami underlays when digitizing large shapes.

Sets the maximum length of each stitch.

Vary run length

If enabled, specify minimum stitch length and chord gap values. The chord gap is the distance between digitized curve and underlay stitch. This determines how closely stitches follow digitized lines.
