Satin Raised is often used for folk designs to mimic handmade embroidery that uses thicker thread. If you require thicker stitches, set the satin stitch to repeat itself multiple times. Use Satin Raised to create raised surfaces consisting of multiple layers of satin stitching. This can also be applied successfully to some styles of font for a raised embroidery surface.

Caution
Using a value higher than 10 may cause thread breaks, depending on the design, fabric, or thread tension.

TIP
When you increase satin stitch count, you should also increase the spacing to avoid bunching and thread breaks.
