In EmbroideryStudio, the Auto Spacing option is turned on by default. 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>.
To apply satin stitch with fixed spacing...
