Chapter 15: Fill-Stitching Fill stitches are used for sewing text in order to prevent long satin stitches and avoid pullouts. We recommend using fill stitches when sewing very large characters. To select fill stitching: 1 Using the Move tool ( ), select the text shape that you wish to change. "Dancing ants" (moving dashes) appear around the shape. 2 Press the Enter key. The Text Properties dialog box appears. 3 Click the Stitches tab. 4 In the Type drop-down list, select "Fill". NOTE: The Length and Offset settings in the Fill group box (on the Stitches tab) allow the length and offset of the fill stitches to be adjusted. The length of a fill stitch is the distance between needle penetrations. Lengthening the stitch length lowers the stitch count. The offset is the percentage that each row is offset from the next. This adjusts the sewing pattern of fill stitching, so that when set to 30%, it resembles brickwork. The settings for obtaining a desirable pattern can be memorized so that they can be used again. For more information about memorizing settings, see Memorizing settings in chapter 34. To be sure that all letters in the text will be fill-stitched, select the Use satin/fill type check box in the Glyph default overrides group box. A check mark will appear. 5 Click the OK button. 38

Fill stitches are used for sewing text in order to prevent long satin stitches and avoid pullouts. We recommend
using fill stitches when sewing very large characters.
To select fill stitching:
1
Using the
Move
tool (
), select the text shape that you wish to change. “Dancing ants” (moving dashes)
appear around the shape.
2
Press the Enter key. The
Text Properties
dialog box appears.
3
Click the
Stitches
tab.
4
In the
Type
drop-down list, select “Fill”.
NOTE:
The
Length
and
Offset
settings in the
Fill
group box (on the
Stitches
tab) allow the length and offset
of the fill stitches to be adjusted. The length of a fill stitch is the distance between needle penetra-
tions. Lengthening the stitch length lowers the stitch count. The offset is the percentage that each
row is offset from the next. This adjusts the sewing pattern of fill stitching, so that when set to
30%, it resembles brickwork.
The settings for obtaining a desirable pattern can be memorized so that they can be used again.
