Apply combination splits

	Use Outline Stitch Types > Program Split to create borders or columns of even width for decorative needle penetration patterns. Right-click for settings.

Standard program split consists of a satin foreground and background – i.e. Satin-in-Satin. If patterns do not overlap you may get jump stitches or gaps occurring in the background. In this case, you can select from different combinations of satin and tatami stitches.

To apply combination splits...

1. Right-click the Program Split icon to access object properties.

2. In the Combination Split panel, click the desired option:

Options include:

Option	Function
Satin-in-Satin	This is the standard program split stitch type, which produces the smallest number of stitches.
Satin-in-Tatami	Use this option to avoid long stitches when the patterns are small but column and row spacings are wide.
Tatami-in-Tatami	Both foreground and background use tatami. Select this option for large objects and patterns to avoid long stitches.
