Adjust tatami fill density

For Tatami Fill, stitch density is determined by row spacing. The spacing setting is the distance between two forward rows. To increase density, enter a smaller value. To create a more open fill, enter a larger value.

Stitch length varies slightly in tatami fill to ensure that small stitches are not generated at the edges of the shape. Increase length for a looser, more glossy appearance.

Tip: Notice that the Travel on Edge setting is activated automatically for spacings larger than 0.9mm. This forces underlying travel stitches to the edges of shapes, preventing them from showing through open stitching. See also Gradient fill effects.
