Underlay margins

Right-click Stitch Effects > Auto Underlay to adjust underlay margins.

The underlay margin is the distance between an object outline and the edge of the underlay. Increase this margin to prevent underlay stitches from extending outside the cover stitches.

For Column A, Column B, Column C and Lettering objects, enter margins in the 1:, 2: and 3: fields, using the diagram as a guide.

For Complex Fill objects, enter a margin in the 1: field only. Values in the other fields will be ignored.

If you are joining two columns, use a negative value at the joining end. The underlay will extend outside the cover stitching, allowing for smooth joining of the columns.
