On what it is necessary to pay attention: at change a contour form from a wide place to narrow, stitches start approaching with each other and can form filling of very big density. Part of editors of an embroidery the software solve this problem. In bottlenecks there is a shortening of lines and not all lines get a narrow neck and density remains to a constant without unnecessary consolidations. Some the editor allow to lay out lines in the elementary a pattern, instead of it is simple to set chaotic punctures. Creation of the additional line of a puncture (carved line, emboss line) – the user can set any line through which will pass additional punctures. Change of a form of corners (cap, mitered, etc.). Some machine embroidery digitizing software determine a corner form automatically by the of algorithm and give the chance to the user to affect this choice. In more detail about corner formation I plan to write a post later. Satin of constant width (Steil, Serial satin, Satin border) It is constructed on the basis of the simple line. Allows to apply to itself also the mass of any interesting effects. Such satin easily becomes and very simply – one line is drawn and the satin width (1, 2, 3мм, etc., how many it is necessary) is set. For satin of the direction of stitches of this kind the program depending on complexity of a trajectory counts. And therefore in certain cases the directions in which stitches are located, can look, to put it mildly, strange. Also the editor usually automatically, on the algorithms, sets a form of corners. But some editors allow the user to choose other type of a corner if it doesn't like that the editor applied. It is especially important to pay attention when you change sateen width to a form of corners. And it is always difficult to operate a form of corners for this purpose like satin To satin of constant width, it is possible to apply and impressive filling. In this regard it a little than differs from usual satin. It is possible to be played with a form of a profile and the ends if the software allows: It is possible to create effect of fragmentary edge, having adjusted its parameters. Or to make gradient decrease or density increase on trajectory length, both having used the standard offer, and having adjusted values of density independent.

There are many effects which can be applied to sateen having given it additional visual appeal. The set of opportunities depends on your software. For example, usual sateen as all know looks so: And possible effects for it such: Impressive filling (pattern) – application of breakdown of a tatami. Laying by a tile (carved pattern, creative pattern) – sateen is filled in with pattern figures. These figures are as in library, also they can be created and most. Pattern filling (motive, macros, program stitch) – laying along a contour of repeating groups of motives chosen from library or created independently. For them usually there is an opportunity to set the size of the 1st group and quantity of ranks which keep within a contour (on this example of the 3rd row fit into a contour form). Effect of fragmentary edge (random, jagged edge, feathering) – creation of rough edge at sateen with one or from 2 parties. In the different software options are possible: stitches or are extended in outer side, or cleaned in a contour. The amount of this lengthening/shortening is measured or in millimeters, or it is specified in a percentage ratio from stitch length. This opportunity to make rough edge is used in the software for automatic creation of effect of wool. For example, Stitch Era Liberty does it so: Density variation (gradient, variable density, random density. density profile) – density change on set in the editor and to the algorithm chosen by the user along a contour. In some cases, it is possible to set change of density independently. Some editors give the chance to users to set number of repetitions for each stitch of sateen. As each stitch of sateen repeats, it demands serious reduction of density. On the screen of the computer of it it isn't visible, and here in an embroidery the difference between one repetition or several is observed. Radial filling (radial fill) – interesting opportunity to create stitches going from the center without drawing a ring. The form for this filling can be any. Gives the chance to operate easily and all stitches and filling type go the center, from where. Following by stitches to a contour form (contour stitch, piping, curved filling) – the calculation of usual stitches lengthways a contour form. Very usable piece. Is practically in all editors.
