For run stitch and other outline stitches, stitch length can be adjusted to suit the shape.
1Right-click the icon to access object properties.
2To set a fixed stitch length, adjust the Length field. For sharp curves, reduce length – e.g. 1.8 mm – so that the stitches follow the line more closely. Mimic hand-made embroidery by increasing length to, say, 4.0 mm.
3Alternatively, automatically shorten stitches to follow tight curves with the Variable Run Length option.
4In the Chord Gap field, enter the maximum distance to allow between the digitized outline and the stitches.
5In the Min Length field, enter the minimum stitch length to allow. Stitch length will not reduce to less than this value, even if the chord gap is exceeded.
