How to manage contour lines peeking out on inside curves

[cousette31]

I have had some instances where the contour lines peek out as running stitches around an inside curve.  I have a design with a digitized D and O and I can't keep the contour lines where they belong all of the time.  I am embroidering on caps.  The inset for the contour lines is set at .02mm.  The outside inset is fine.  How do I move the inside curve inset?   I would appreciate any tips.

If you are adding contour underlay, click the Advanced button.  You should see a setting called Inset B.  This will allow you to change the inset of the other side of the satin column.  You might also want to try changing the Drop Run Stitch setting to Chord Gap and set the Max Chord Gap distance to .2 mm.  Chord Gap will add additional stitches to better follow curves.  The smaller the Max Chord Gap distance, the closer the curve will be followed. If this does not help, you can also try reducing the contour underlay stitch length.

I just updated to Illustrator and am having this problem with the new key bd script fonts.  Should I try your suggestions on them/can I?...or can they not be changed. thanks,

Yes, you can do the same for keyboard lettering.  This can happen if you are creating particularly small lettering.  Also check to see if there are suggestions in the font help for the particular font you are using.  You can get to the font help from the Help menu in Tajima DG/ML.  Remember to keep in mind the minimum and maximum sizes.  Let me know how this works out for you.

go into properties-underlay-stitch length

change the default from  .10 to .08 you will notice that the shorter stitch length effects how close the underlay is to the edge of your lettering.

 I am trying to activate my draw fusion and all I get is a message check your Corel Draw installation. I have CorelDraw X4 and am running Maestro 12.2.

Thank you,
