Stitch spacing

Stitch spacing is the distance in millimeters between two needle penetrations on the same side of a shape. Where it is very narrow, stitches need to be less dense because too many needle penetrations can damage the fabric.

Where a border narrows, stitches are tight, thus requiring fewer stitches to cover the fabric. The Automatic setting adjusts stitch spacing for satin stitches according to outline width. For objects of varying width, Automatic adjusts spacing accordingly. Manual spacing allows you to set a fixed spacing of greater or lesser density.
