Once you have obtained the grayscale settings you want, try adjusting stitch settings in combination with Preview.
These settings allow you to achieve a balance between overall stitch count and optimum coverage:
|
Setting |
Function |
|
Density |
Create more dense or more open stitching, similar to ‘Loop Spacing’ in stipple stitching. The highest density value may result in thread breaks. |
|
Thread color |
Select the thread color you wish to apply to the end result. |
|
Length |
Set optimal stitch length – the greater the length, the fewer the number of needle points generated. |
|
Min length |
Adjust minimum stitch length to specify the shortest stitch to be generated. |
|
Trim if next connector >= |
Trims are inserted if connectors exceed the specified length. Higher values result in fewer trims but more connecting runs. |
|
Style |
Toggle between Light or Heavy for more open or dense stitching. This setting is independent of the Density setting. ‘Heavy’ approximately doubles the stitch count. |
3Experiment with Style of stitching – light or heavy.
3Again, use Preview to generate temporary stitching without closing the dialog.
3Further refine stitch settings until you obtain the look you want and click OK to confirm.
