In EmbroideryStudio, Auto Spacing is activated for most object types. For most purposes, this option avoids thread breaks and creates visually appealing columns of satin stitches. Sometimes, however, you may want to control the exact spacing of satin columns. Fixed spacing is sometimes used, for example, for decorative effects – e.g. very open spacing over, say, a tatami background. These effects cannot be achieved with Auto Spacing.
Tip: If you are using a digitizing tablet, you can quickly switch between preset styles with different spacing settings. Each button on the puck accesses the next preset style. For example, clicking button 1 accesses <PRESET_SATIN_1>.
1Select a digitizing method, select Satin, and create your embroidery object. Alternatively, select an existing embroidery object and click Satin.
2Right-click the Satin icon to access object properties.
3Deselect Auto Spacing.
4In the Spacing field, enter a fixed spacing:
3To increase density, enter a smaller value.
3To reduce density, enter a larger value.
Tip: Auto Split is used primarily to prevent long stitches in wide columns. It can also be used as an alternative to tatami fill. Auto Split looks more satin-like and works well with turning stitches, creating soft lines and a little more depth. By contrast, tatami is flat and can show unwanted patterns with tight curves.
