Apply fractional spacing to curved shapes to even out stitch density along outside and inside edges. Fractional spacing is particularly useful for columns of satin stitches with sharp turns. For best results, combine stitch shortening and fractional spacing effects.

Tip: An offset fraction of 0.33 generates fewer stitches than standard spacing, reducing bunching along the inside edge. An offset fraction of 0.66 eliminates bunching on the inside edge, but may produce insufficient stitches to cover the fabric.
